Wheel of Fate by A.K. Faulkner (Inheritance #10)

The wheel turns. Laurence figured he'd be planning his wedding as soon as he got home from the desert; instead he's pulled away from his fiancĂ© to track down Rufus' missing mom. Worse, the last person he'd ever want help from is on his side, and Laurence can't afford to say no. Surrounded by strands of fate that rapidly became a web, Laurence's only hope is to aim for the spider at its heart, but Vincent Harrow has been weaving it since before Laurence was born. ​​​​​​​Trapped between two evils, neither of which are lesser, Laurence is about to discover that there really are fates worse than death.
