When Saeris accidentally opens a gateway to the realm of the Fae while fleeing from Death himself, she finds herself stranded in an icy, magical world that's nothing like the scorching desert she's always known. Desperate to get home, she unwittingly binds herself to Kingfisher, a dangerously attractive Fae warrior with his own dark secrets and a reputation as lethal as his name suggests. What starts as a tense, antagonistic partnership becomes something far more complicated as Saeris discovers that this mysterious warrior might be the only one capable of helping her navigate a centuries-old conflict—and the only one who truly sees her. Buckle up for a high-stakes enemies-to-lovers romance packed with world-hopping adventure, intense magic, and two damaged souls learning to trust each other against impossible odds.
