When Neil flees the Nest and shows up at Palmetto State with an injured wrist, his only plan is to convince Kevin to let him stay. Not to join the team, not to bother the Foxes, but to recover and figure out his next move. Kevin agrees, but what he doesn't know is that Neil's story is spun with lies. Neil will have to keep his true intentions hidden, avoid Andrew's never-ending questions, and stay under the radar - all while adjusting to unexpected soulmate customs outside of the Nest. It shouldn't be a problem, considering he doesn't have a soulmark, but nothing can ever be simple for Neil.

Andrew inhaled sharply, the closest thing to regret he'd ever felt welling up from deep in his bones. Here was someone who trusted him, who understood him, who was quite possibly the most attractive man Andrew had ever seen, and he wanted Andrew.

A year after Neil moves into the Foxhole ā a rundown off-campus house that nine stoners call home ā he thinks he might have found a place made for staying.

But that's nothing new for Neil, who is constantly hiding everything about himself anywayāthis time with magical abilities greasing the way.
