Condemned by fire and hunted by blood, Zaytira of the Ash People survives when she should not. Taken in by the Metkayina out of pity and mistrust she clashes with Aonung, whose judgment cuts as sharply as any blade. She was raised for war; he was born to the tide. Neither bends easily.
What begins in resentment shifts into something far more dangerous. Stolen glances turn into quiet promises. And when love is finally spoken, Zaytira must choose between the man who wants her and the people she refuses to abandon. Some bonds demand sacrifice. Others are strong enough to cross fire and sea.
