Death has shadowed me my entire life. I just didn’t expect it to wear the face of the man I can’t stop thinking about.
Magic is a crime in the Eaorin Kingdom. Anyone caught wielding it—or bearing its mark—faces execution. I bear that mark, hidden where no one can see it. My survival depends on secrecy, even if it means shackling myself to a life of servitude as part of the King’s Guard.
One night of freedom changes everything. I choose a stranger to lose myself in—only to find he’s Thorn, the Blade of the King… and my new boss. He’s temptation wrapped in danger, and his secrets may be deadlier than mine.
Can I outrun fate before it burns us both alive?
