    Summary

    Most people run to survive. Nathaniel Wesninski was trained to make everyone else run from him.

    In this world, Nathaniel isn’t just the Butcher’s son; he is his masterpiece. Raised under the cold edge of a blade in Baltimore, Nathaniel possesses the lethal skills to inherit an empire of blood. But when his mother, Mary, drags him into a desperate flight across the country, Nathaniel discovers there is something more terrifying than his father: the hollow void of being no one.

    In a rain-slicked alley in California, his path crosses with Andrew Minyard’s. Still walking the razor’s edge of a suspended sentence for Tilda’s 'accident', Andrew is a silent shadow under constant police watch. When Nathaniel saves his cousin’s life, Andrew doesn’t see a savior; he sees a monster recognizing his own kind.

    There, amidst the scent of blood and shared secrets, a promise is forged.

    Years later, on the Exy court of Palmetto State University, a runaway named Neil Josten tries to bury his past. But the goalkeeper waiting for him has a memory like steel and a debt he hasn’t yet collected.

    The Moriyamas want Nathaniel dead. Exy wants Neil alive. In a world with monsters and kings, where does the ghost fit?

    Summary

    Neil runs because it's everything to him, but he also runs because there isn't anything else for him to do. Turns out, freedom and living are foreign concepts to him. Running and survival? Not so much.

    He went back to creature comforts, the only ones he'd ever known. What else was he supposed to do? What else was he meant to yearn for? Can't want something you never knew existed, after all. 

    Enter Andrew Minyard.

    Summary

    Neil Josten is not soft- has never been in fact. But when an unintended comment from one of the Foxes throws Neil for a loop, he finds himself reminding them why no one should think of him in that way. But why is Andrew suddenly so distant? And what happens when all of these reminders of his past start to catch up with him?

    Aka: all the times Neil proved he was a badass, and Andrew reminds him he's an idiot.
