Avery is the thirteenth family in the Circle, a group of powerful families that run the world.  She is fake married to Stellan, because together they are supposed to be the strongest.  However, one of the Circle families has figured out that Stellan and Avery’s blood mixed together can cause an epidemic and they are using it to blackmail the other Circle families.  Avery and Stellan go on a search to try and find an antidote and along the way they figure out their relationship.  

I love the chemistry between Avery and Stellan but they act older than their seventeen year old selves.  Although this book is the third in the series, the author does a great job bridging the books so it’s not hard to remember what is happening in the story.  I enjoyed this Da Vinci type mystery.  The violence is mass deaths through bombings and epidemics, but is not graphic.
