PROLOGUE

KAI

I was betrayed.Burned. Tattooed from head to toe.

Because of one night, four years ago.

Because of the girl who took my heart in her gentle hands and never let go—Callie Mays.

Because of a mistake that left me with scars and separated us for years.

It was revenge on Archer Crone that brought me to Zion Island during spring break two years ago. But while a hundred elite students partied their heads off, the rest of the world was ravaged by war. The war that killed our families on the mainland. The fallout that’s still killing others. The world lockdown that keeps the “unsafe” countries from those that are still doing well.

Now, we are lucky survivors.

Zion Island is our home.

But there is a silent war going on. The Westside where the Chancellor, my biggest enemy, built his kingdom. And the Eastside, where we, Outcasts, fight to survive.

And then a boat crash bringsherashore.

I thought Callie Mays was my curse.

But I was wrong.

Four years later, my dirty broken heart is still beating. And still beating hard for her.

She is my cure.

My one.

My world.

We lost our families, and we only have each other.

But the Chancellor rules this island. He takes what he wants. And he takes Callie from me.

Big mistake.

She is mine.

And this time, I will burn down this ruthless paradise to get her back.

ARCHER

I never wantedto kill a girl until I met Callie Mays.

To be fair, I barely remembered her face until I looked at her file before bringing her to Zion. That tells you how many fucks I gave about her during the days she mingled in my Deene crew.

And that’s what ticked me off four years ago.

The minute Droga saw her for the first time, he turned from a wolf into a starry-eyed puppy. I would’ve understood if she was a Formula One driver. Or some drop-dead gorgeous model.

But no. His love interest was a cute blonde mouse with a Cinderella laugh and an interest in drawing.

Please.
