Lost. Powerless. Pursued. Liam Alden is, for the first time in his life, "normal". And that’s a problem, because he and the rest of the TEAm are stranded far away from home with law enforcement, Morgan Reilley, and the entire Salvai crime family hot on their trail. They’ll need every connection they’ve ever forged, and a major shift in approach, if they’re going to save both themselves and muses everywhere.
