   Summary

   It begins with a drawing — quick, unguarded, nothing Apollo expects to matter. Darcy keeps it anyway, folds it into her pocket, and suddenly they're tangled in something neither of them meant to start.
   They keep ending up in the same places: a cemetery, a courtyard, a classroom where they're paired against their will. Each collision feels like coincidence until coincidence becomes a pattern and the pattern becomes harder to walk away from.
   Darcy wants to disappear. Apollo wants to control everything. The drawing sits between them like a secret.

   Summary

   Forced to attend her parents bi-yearly party, Darcy Graves somehow finds solace in Apollo, the guy she's previously only considered annoying and pompous. As they grow closer, Darcy struggles to reveal what's most important to her: the lich.
