Every betrayal begins with trust.
After learning the lesson firsthand, Nina has guarded herself and her clan against any threat. When her defenses fail, an assassination attempt leaves her vulnerable. With their bitter history poisoning their mating bond, she can either accept Zeke's help and stay alive-or fight alone.
Zeke prides himself on honor and integrity, but is haunted by a past riddled with tragedy. When Nina is injured, he's desperate to protect her and bring the people who did it to justice. As a Raeth sovereign, he must choose between his clan or his fated mate.
Nina and Zeke find themselves tied together in a perilous game surrounded by lies and half-truths. The question is: will they survive, or will they let the past claim their lives?
