"Bound by chains and cloaked in shadows, desire and danger collide in a ruthless game of control where blades cut deeper than flesh." In a nation torn apart by war, secrets are more powerful than swords. The rebels have stolen plans that could turn the tide of battle, but the Imperials won't let them slip away so easily. Enter The 69th Butcher - a warrior so fearsome, his name is whispered in terror across the land. His mission: retrieve the plans at any cost. But the rebels have their own weapon - Juniper Danger, a fearless operative who guards their secrets with her life. When the Butcher captures her, she's prepared for pain, for torment, for death. But the Butcher has more unorthodox methods of breaking her resolve. In a deadly game of wits, desire and defiance, lines blur between captor and captive, loyalty and betrayal, passion and destruction. As the war rages on, will Juniper's iron will hold, or will the Butcher find a way to claim more than just the rebels' plans?
