Below: part two of the Traces trilogy

By Sophie Johannis

Your hands are love.

Your hands are blinding fear.

Aiden has survived Chance's vault. But back home in Kirkwood, new violence blurs the tenuous line between past and present, pressing Cole to hunt an enemy his wounded mind barely allows him to remember.

Meanwhile, Aiden chafes at the rules of the Agency's underground fortress. Trapped, weak, and dependent on reluctant allies, she can't afford to drown in the nightmares flash-flooding her mind. With a betrayal forcing her hand, Aiden can only save Cole if she finally learns to trust her own strength. As she faces Cole's deepest fear, can she bear the cost of protecting him?

In this heart-searing sequel to TRACES, Aiden and Cole have to choose between their dearest needs: keeping each other close - or keeping each other safe.
