THE STAKES GET HIGHER...WILL GABE AND RUBY SUCCEED OR FAIL UNDER PRESSURE?
As Ruby Barkley Martiniere and her husband Gabe settle into leadership roles within the Martiniere Family and the Martiniere Group, they face escalating challenges, both personal and professional.
Ruby learns that there is much, much more to life as a Martiniere than she expected. Greater responsibility accompanies increased power and privilege, especially as she is asked to become the replacement for a secret, crucial role tied to the Family's patron spirit that may threaten her relationship with Gabe. Yet her acceptance of this role will help keep Gabe and their son Eddie safe, not just from the Family's ancient foes, the Braun family, but digital thought clones and supernatural enemies.
Gabe grows more powerful within the Family and the Group as he faces multiple challenges. He learns about the hidden recent history of the Family and the truth behind his conception. As he builds a stronger relationship with his estranged father and reestablishes a connection with an old friend and ally, he fears that Ruby may become more of a Martiniere than he is. His supernatural and digital allies warn him not to betray Ruby.
Then everything blows up. Gabe's anger brings about that very betrayal he was warned against. He and Ruby face an ordeal that threatens not just the survival of the Family but the survival of their relationship.
Will they emerge from this testing stronger...or will they fall apart?
