In the final chapter of The Ballad of Nick and Mina, the pair have made their way back to each other, and must deal with the aftermath of the events of The Beautiful & the Damned. And start their sophomore year of high school. A new year at Kesley Town High brings new challenges for Mina in particular. She wants a social life. A little bit of one at least. She needs some distraction from the memories that haunt her after what she saw and did over the summer. Left with even less guidance than before, Nick buckles down and pushes himself further than he thought possible. Discovering what he and Mina truly are, Nick knows it will take a great plan and a lot of help to bring down one of the greatest evils the world has ever know.
