Signed in ice, sealed in blood. Our divorce was supposed to be my escape—instead, it became my cage.
I thought saving a Dragon Warlord’s life was the hardest thing I’d ever done. I was wrong. Surviving the aftermath is worse.
My marriage to Cassian Frost is over, the ink on the papers as cold as the ice in his veins. But in the halls of Valorian War College, secrets are deadlier than any blade. Now, Shane Corbin—the academy’s lethal “Reaper”—has me in his sights. He knows about the forbidden magic pulsing beneath my skin. He knows who I really am. And he’s using that truth to drag me into a game of shadows where the prize is my soul.
Caught between the man who broke my heart and the monster who wants to own it, I’m forced to play a dangerous part. While Cassian watches me with eyes full of frozen rage and hidden longing, Shane’s blackmail pulls the noose tighter.
But there’s a storm brewing within me. My hidden power is no longer whispering—it’s screaming to be let loose. As the ultimate duel approaches and the Miasma creeps closer, I must decide: will I remain a pawn in their war of titans, or will I let the dragon within burn it all to the ground?
The vow is broken. The hunt has begun.
