It's frustrating, irritating, how quickly Nix and Kess fall back in sync?much as she tries to fight, Nix can't deny their spark. But Kessandra wasn't truthful?surprise, surprise?and Nix quickly realizes their investigation isn't about the massacre, but rather what caused it: an illness that incites its victims into a violent craze.When another royal is brutally murdered, it becomes apparent the disease has spread?and no one on the submersible is safe.
