When Linh stumbles into the territory of Nathair, a wounded Duskwalker struggling to reclaim his fractured mind, she discovers that safety can come from the most unexpected places—even from a monster she should fear. Trapped between the dangers of the wild and the intensity of his protective presence, she finds herself drawn to the quiet strength beneath his monstrous exterior and the undeniable connection that sparks between them. But as Linh begins to heal alongside this broken, beautiful creature, she's forced to choose between the life she once knew and the soul-deep bond that's changing everything. This is a tender, atmospheric romance about finding wholeness in someone else's arms and the courage it takes to choose love when you've learned to run.
