“Your heart drips with shadows. You don’t know how to love.”

Cianán can do nothing right when it comes to Halana. From their constant bickering to his failed attempts to seduce her in the Inkwater swamp, he’s always screwing things up. By the time he realized the headstrong half-fae warrior had feelings for him, he’d ruined it. She dismisses his many attempts to win her affection as he follows her mad dash across the countryside. But now that she’s been abducted…

Nothing will stop him from finding her.

Halana—left reeling after her twin brother’s death—fled Frosthold for a life of danger. She tries to outrun her grief and the dominating, yet sensual shadow fae tracking her every step, but she can’t run forever. Soon she’s captured by witches, bound on a ship to Adria and an unknown fate.

If only she’d trusted the shadow fae…

Cianán is determined to rescue Halana and prove that he can be more than a rake, even if he’s the last person she wants to see. However, unbeknownst to either of them, war is on the horizon and Halana’s abduction is only a piece of the larger puzzle. Stielor is under attack and they have to work together to prevent their homeland’s destruction. Can they put aside their fiery tempers to protect their home?

Or will their love scorch them both?
