About the Author Also by Lucy Smoke When you are not fed love on a silver spoon You learn to lick it off knives. —Lauren Eden, Starved AUTHOR’S NOTE This is it, guys. The finale of the Sick Boys series. It’s been just over two long, incredibly years together. My little trauma babies have grown up and are ready to take the next step forward. I’ll admit that I’ve been gearing up for and preparing for this book since the beginning. I wasn’t sure how Micki would come to life, but I knew, when she did, it would be different. Each of my girls and boys have been so unique in their own ways. I cannot thank you, the reader, enough for enjoying their stories and coming along this journey with us. For one final time—for this series anyway—please be warned that this book is not for the feint of heart. If you are triggered by any common themes within the dark romance world such as those listed below, please make sure that you read responsibly. Thank you again for loving my Sick Boys and Girls. I hope you enjoy the book! Trigger Warnings: This book contains sex slavery, secret societies, dubious consent, non-consensual sex, sex, blood, violence, death, murder, grief, loss of a loved one, toxic behaviors etc. If any of these are triggering to you, please keep that in mind and read at your own risk. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My incredibly thanks goes out to my amazing team of support. My publicist, my author friends, Angie, my editors Heather and Kristen, my proofreader, Jean, and everyone else that has supported me over the last five years. I am so honored and grateful for my career and the friends I’ve made along the way. In all of my wildest dreams, I never imagined I’d be where I am today and I could not do it without this group of people. Without my friends and the support I’ve received from my readers, I’d never have imagined that life could be this happy. If someone told me years ago that I would receive this much love and have this much success just writing, I would have been so hopeful, but so doubtful. Now, it’s real. And it’s all thanks to you. I hope you all will love the final installment of the official Sick Boys series and please keep in touch because even if this is the end for my Sick Boys and Girls, the world goes on and there will be more darkness in the future. With love, Lucy PROLOGUE MICKI There’s blood in my teeth. I can feel it coating my tongue with a nasty, coppery taste. Out of habit, I lick my lips and regret it almost immediately 1 MICKI 16 years old… Ashes to Ashes and dust to dust.
