He is a general. She is a fugitive. Their fates should never have intertwined.
Karisto Tahn is the ruthless commander of the VOX battalion, feared by many and bound by duty. When Crenna stumbles into his camp; wounded, desperate, and hunted- she becomes his prisoner, a trespasser with secrets written in blood. But the more he tries to break her, the more she refuses to shatter.
In a world where power is absolute and mercy is scarce, an uneasy tether forms between captor and captive- one of defiance, restraint, and something far more dangerous.
Because fear is not the only thing that burns between them.
