They are my guardians, the people who strengthen me and make me feel whole. Their touches set me aflame, and I’ll give them everything. In return, they’ll worship me. I can depend upon them to help me unseat him—the incarnation of evil.

Now, I'm broken beyond repair. But they’re there to pull me back every time I retreat into myself. Jay—my best friend—who hasn’t left my side in years. Griffin—an undercover cop—who loves me before he knows my name. Sage—a mothering doctor—who stitches me back together.
