In her second year at Beaumond Academy, Max is still struggling to face the fact that her X-Gene has changed and that her boyfriend, Ben Vogue, is truly gone.

She feels like she's drowning and has trouble connecting with animals. It all changes when her two Commanders try to help her connect, and she comes to know who they both truly are underneath the uniforms.

When a mock-up mission breaks down the magic that her father placed on her as a child, Max is confronted with a lot more than who she is.

Gabriel tries his best to hide the Ahmdahney from everyone close to him, especially Max, but needs to help her as she is drowning in sorrow.

What he didn't bargain on was the mock-up mission turning into a real one. Almost losing Max makes him realize just how important she is to him. But what if it's too late?

Will Max find a way to forgive Gabriel and finally give him a chance? And will Gabriel be honest with Max for once about who she truly is to him?
