Serenity must survive her role as the face of Force's Temple...or risk losing her family forever.
Serenity is trapped behind Temple walls, now a pawn in Force's hands. His goal is to turn her into the face of his Temple, and he hires Luc to play the role of master artisan. Ultimately, Serenity is to become Yang, the bearer of her father's dark Temple legacy--and the training for that once again involves the whip. This time, she must use it on Bliss, her twin--the Yin to Serenity's Yang, though Bliss is nothing but a shell, one who only knows total submission to Force's rules.
But Serenity has even bigger problems--Luc constantly pursues her, Force thrusts suitors in her path at every turn, and she must endure grandiose exhibit viewings. Most chillingly, a series of corpses with swan symbols carved into their chests keep randomly appearing, and she doesn't know who is involved. Serenity needs Sky now more than ever. And he will be there to protect her--no matter what it takes.
In this action-packed third installment of the Uncaged Series, will Serenity manage to survive Force and all his machinations? Or will her father and the Temple finally be her breaking point?
