What Destroy Me is about
This story follows Shatter Me and picks up after Juliette's escape from The Reestablishment. Warner is recovering from a near-fatal wound at the base, keeping his soldiers in line and stamping out any talk of rebellion in the sector. He is still obsessed with Juliette and wants her back, and he plans to deal with Adam and Kenji, the two traitors who helped her get away. Then his father, the Supreme Commander of The Reestablishment, arrives to fix his son's mistakes, with very different plans for Juliette. Warner cannot let those plans happen. Intense and brooding, it explores obsession, power and the pull between a father and son. It suits readers of the first book who want to know what Warner is really like.
