He is the ancient, winged protector she was never meant to see... but the only one who can feel the darkness waking inside her. June Mason has spent her life unseen. A quiet girl living in the forgotten corners of her school, she survives by staying small, unnoticed... invisible. But something ancient has been watching her from the shadows. Something with wings. When violent, unexplainable pains begin tearing through her chest, June's world shatters - and the creature who has stalked her from afar finally steps into the light. He is lethal. Otherworldly. Beautiful in a way that terrifies her. And he tells her she no longer belongs in the human world. Dragged into Ethilia - a realm of sky-born races, crumbling alliances, and monsters far older than myths - June discovers she is being hunted by forces darker than anything she has ever imagined. And the only one capable of protecting her is the very being she was taught to fear. He has watched her for years. He knows more about her than she knows about herself. And the bond between them is forbidden... but impossible to ignore. As ancient powers awaken within June, and the danger around her sharpens, she must decide whether to trust the winged guardian who stole her from her life - or run from the one creature she should never have wanted. A slow-burn romantasy filled with shadowy tension, dangerous devotion, and a heroine discovering her strength.
