When a fierce healer is taken as a slave to a conqueror's war camp, she expects captivity—but what unfolds is far more dangerous to her heart. Gage Dumont is a powerful warrior accustomed to taking whatever he wants, yet this spirited woman with her healing touch awakens something he thought his scarred soul had lost forever. As she works to save his dying friend, their connection deepens through stolen moments and simmering tension, forcing them both to question everything about duty, desire, and the possibility of love between captor and captive. A sweeping medieval romance that explores the thin line between possession and devotion.
Reading soundtrack
Dark medieval romance with simmering tension and forbidden desire. Deep vocals, orchestral strings, and sultry indie rock. Moody, intimate moments clashing with battle-ready intensity. Think Florence + The Machine meets Hozier—yearning passion wrapped in shadows.
