I set the fire, and still, I didn't expect the burn.

Emory told me we'd set the world on fire and watch it burn, because together we were untouchable—and what a great illusion that was.

River has yet to learn that in a town of lies and deceit—the "truth" is very unreliable.

For a moment, I forgot that we are only humans after all. And above all, humans are mortal.

But we're not dead yet.

So many questions are left unanswered. But if I have to, I'll watch this city burn to the ground to get answers. Hell, I'll even start the fire myself. But fire is uncontrollable, and I can't keep the people I love safe—not even her. I never could. Emory has always been the gasoline to my flames.

Now watch us explode.

Note: This book should be read following Riot Hearts, as this is the conclusion to River and Emory's story.
