Getting thrown in jail was not part of the plan. She’d imagined a far better ending to her night—one involving a certain irresistible giant.
Instead, she’s locked in a Gray Council cell, starving and miserable, with only cockroaches for company. But when Darius, the Council’s silver-haired pain-in-the-neck, shows up with a deal—freedom in exchange for a dangerous mission—she can’t refuse.
Her task? Retrieve the Jewel of the Sun. Sounds straightforward, except someone’s watching her every move, someone so dark and silent that her instincts scream danger.
With time ticking and an unknown enemy closing in, one thing’s clear: failing to find the jewel means losing more than just her freedom.
Will she unearth the truth, or will it bury her first?
