Dev leads the Forgotten, people who guard critical secrets, and his duty requires him to eliminate threats without hesitation. Yet he feels drawn to this mysterious woman despite the risk she represents. Katya recognizes that Dev might be her salvation, but she also fears he could be her intended victim.
