A challenge. A choice. A risk. A price...

Though Reece Richards saved his city from complete destruction, Faline Garand hasn't extracted her claws from his psyche. Faced with losing him to the Consortium forever, each member of Team Bolt—including Emma—must take drastic measures to save him.

Emmalina Crist can no longer stand by and watch as the forces of evil gain traction, threatening the life and sanity of the man she loves. Pushing past fear, she leads a secret mission to take the fight to Faline's turf—but the risk leads to a price beyond her expectations...and consequences beyond her imagination.

Reece pays the ransom to save Emma with the only thing the Consortium really wants: him. But there's no turning back for either of them now. Emma will become a woman forever transformed, risking even Reece's love in order to save him from his own willing sacrifice. In the end, will he still choose their fated fusion, despite how everything—even she—has changed?
