After being rescued from Preston Waters' warehouse, Alina becomes the resident expert on Soul Shifters. She grew up in the world of magic fueled by love and Preston took that away from her. She lost her family, her future and her hope to him and she's tired of being a victim. She doesn't want anyone's pity - she only longs to live a normal life. Desmond has always done his own thing. He rejected the silver spoon he was born with in favor of a simpler life. He never expected that choice to come back to haunt him years later and threaten the very thing he loves most. When Ty gathers new intel on Waters, everyone knows this is their best chance to defeat him. Desperate times call for desperate measures and Alina finally opens herself enough to realize she's not as alone in all of this as she thought. Sheer numbers are no match for their nemesis and as time runs out, not everyone is walking out of the warehouse.
