Find a Way out, or Death will find youWith the love interests' affection meters now sealed behind ominous locks, Penelope can't afford any risks with her escape plan. So even as Eckles's numbers climb closer toward 100 percent, having a backup man is as good of an idea as any. The best option? Winter…who promptly leverages his position as guildmaster to insist on going out with her! But this "date" has so much more in store for Penelope than she could have predicted-anti-magic cults, evil deities, run-ins with Callisto…What should have been a chance to raise affection quickly lands her on the precipice of failure. Faced with betrayal on one end and unrequitable feelings on the other, Penelope can feel herself cracking under the pressure. Will the impending end of hard mode be the final nail in the coffin?
