Kael was raised to believe the Aeronis were savage threats-beasts to be hunted without hesitation. For years, he followed orders without question, blade steady and conscience quiet.
But everything changes the day he strays too far into the mist.
Among the ruins of an ancient temple, Kael encounters a creature unlike any he has faced-silent, unafraid, and guarding something small and fragile beneath his wings. In that brief moment of hesitation, Kael glimpses a truth he was never meant to see.
As the lines between hunter and hunted blur, Kael finds himself caught between loyalty to those who raised him and the faint pull of something he cannot name. With each patrol, his doubt grows-and with it, the risk of betrayal.
In a world where survival is built on fear, Kael must decide which part of him he can no longer afford to keep.
