Rowan knows better than to care. The Wild Lands are not kind, and neither is she. For thirteen years, she has hunted, fought, and killed to keep her past buried in blood. Trained as an assassin, forged into a weapon, she does not hesitate. She does not trust. And she does not save those who can’t save themselves. Until him.

Kaldor was sent to deliver a message of hope to neighboring orc clans. Instead, he became prey. Hunted by the Knights of the Silver Hand, he should be dead. But when a sharp-eyed assassin puts an arrow through his pursuer’s throat, his fate is sealed. Orcs do not choose mates, the bond does. And from the moment he looks at her, his soul belongs to hers.

But Rowan doesn’t believe in fate. She doesn’t believe in bonds, in love, in anything she cannot control. She fights him at every turn, refusing to kneel to destiny. War is coming. Blood will be spilled. And when the fires rise again, she will have to decide—run once more, or stand and fight for what could be hers.
