Contention (Demon Accords Generations, #2)

Presumed orphan Craig Blackmore had begun to rebuild his life by taking a spot at his mother's alma mater, College Arcane, on Earth. But then he found out his mother was not dead, but instead having gone into hiding on Golf Alpha five years ago.

Allied with the heroes of Earth and bonded to Vesta Reynolds-O'Carroll, Craig is helping to investigate the mystery of his mother, what she has done to him from birth, and the forces that have attacked him on Earth all while continuing his education. When a series of events reveals Vesta, and by default, Craig, to the world, he finds himself facing a terror beyond Axeheads and assassins -- public opinion. With enemies coming at him and Vesta from three worlds, Craig must dig deep into the new abilities his mother crafted into him and master them as fast as he can if he's going to protect his new life on Earth.
