I'm done playing nice. I am the Seer. It's time to play the role I was made for. My mission is clear. Now it's about gathering the resources I need to take down the world's biggest, baddest, secret society. I'm not alone this time. With all three of the Chosen Ones on the same side, we've got one last shot to make history.

I just rebelled against the Guardians in an act they'd consider treasonous. But not me. I'm finally standing up for myself and doing the right thing. And I've never felt so vulnerable. What can one girl do against the Three Societies? Who in the world would be stupid enough to join the army of a seventeen-year-old girl?

There's a war in Europe. Everyone in the Three Societies must choose sides. I know whoses side I'm on. My own. Joining forces with the Guardians might be a huge mistake. But I'll do anything to find the last three rubies . . . And destroy them. The moment my plane touches down in Vienna, I'm in for a world of trouble. The Three Societies are divided into two factions, and you must choose a side. Just when I finally find love, my boyfriend and I are separated by our affiliations. And my ex keeps hanging around like there's something still between us.

If there's one thing I've learned since last semester, you never know what the Three Societies are going to do next. First, they invite you into their midst and call it Seer Training. Yeah, right. Like they have any idea what to do with the likes of me. Then they say, "Go fend for yourself." I don't think they're going to like the way I fend for myself. Because I'm tired of bowing to the whims of the Guardians, Nexis . . . or anybody else for that matter. I'm the Seer. I'm the one with super-cool angel powers. And I'm the one who pays the price when I use them.
