Silk and Smoke

In a world carved by blood, betrayal, and vengeance, Elias is a man forged in the fire of war-cold, calculated, and feared. Aveline is the woman who was never meant to survive it, let alone challenge him. Bound by a common enemy and a past that refuses to die, their alliance begins as a dangerous necessity and transforms into an all-consuming passion. As they fight to reclaim power, justice, and their fractured selves, love becomes both their greatest weapon and most terrifying vulnerability. In a war where loyalty is lethal and trust is a gamble, Elias and Aveline must decide what they're willing to sacrifice: their vengeance or each other.
