The Raven King (All for the Game, #2)

by Nora Sakavic

Neil thought about Renee's bruised knuckles, Dan's fierce spirit, and Allison holding her ground on the court a week after Seth's death. He thought about his mother standing unflinching in the face of his father's violent anger and her ruthlessly leaving bodies in their wake. He felt compelled to say, "Some of the strongest people I've known are women."

"My first memories are of people dying," Neil said. "I'm not afraid of you." "That's why you're so interesting," Andrew said. "How aggravating."

He had Riko right in front of him, his father's ghost behind him, and six months before Nathaniel laid "Neil Josten" to rest for good. Having friends wouldn't change anything. But would it really hurt? He didn't know. There was only one way to find out.

If two weeks with Riko was the price to keep his team safe, Neil would pay it.

He was their family. They were his. They were worth every cut and bruise and scream.
