Alex is stunned when Mr. Today comes to him with a very special requestone Alex questions his readiness for, until circumstances offer a dramatic answer.

And back in Quill, Aaron Stowe, Alexs twin, faces a very different path. Devastated by his loss of status after Justines defeat and seething with rage toward Alex, Aaron is stealthily planning his revenge and return to power.
