About this book

After toppling a kingdom and igniting a rebellion, Paedyn is on the run—and the one person chasing her is the last person she wants to face. Kai is now bound by duty to his new King brother, tasked with hunting down the woman who's stolen his heart and shattered his world. When their cat-and-mouse game takes them into the dangerous city of Dor, the lines between hunter and hunted blur in the most intoxicating way, and suddenly the real battle isn't between enemies—it's between what they're sworn to do and what they desperately want. Prepare yourself for a second act that cranks up both the political intrigue and the spicy tension in ways that'll have you absolutely breathless.

Ethereal fantasy romance with acoustic intimacy and indie folk tenderness. Blend atmospheric orchestral moments with soft indie pop and vulnerable singer-songwriter tracks. Capture stolen glances, duty versus desire, and the tension of a chase that becomes a dance. Think Florence + The Machine's ethereal grace, Bon Iver's quiet intensity, and Noah Kahan's emotional depth.
