A Hollow Secret

<p><strong>Cody has always hated his powers. He hates them even more now that the love of his life is pulling away.</strong></p><p>Senior year was always going to be terrible. It marked the end of Cody's stability. Even with the influx of magic and secrets he would give anything for time to stop. He wants a moment-just a moment-of calm.</p><p>But despite Jae's absence calm is not in the cards. Cody's mother back from a hospital stay isn't herself. Mia is too terrified to leave her house. Derek won't speak to him. And Blair is obsessed with tracking down the other three artifacts. If Cody's not worrying about Mia and his mother Blair is pulling him into her dangerous plans.</p><p>It's too much.</p><p>Cody finds himself wishing that he is someone else. Someone normal who Mia can trust. Who Derek doesn't hate. Who Blair doesn't drag across the world in the middle of the night.</p><p>But while he and his friends struggle to adjust to the fractures in their circle the war continues to build. If they get too caught up in their own issues they won't notice the violent plot being executed right under their nose. At least not until it's too late.</p>
