An arranged marriage, a rejected bride-to-be, and a night of infernal fire that reduced a city to ash...

Lady Nalia was raised to be a baron's perfect daughter?gentle, graceful, and promised to a political marriage meant to secure her father's power. She never expected rejection.

On her eighteenth birthday, she meets her intended husband, Talen, a scarred ex?monster hunter sworn to protect the realm's citadels. To her surprise, he wants nothing to do with her... until infernals tear through her city and burn her world to the ground. Her court falls. Her family dies. And the life she was forced to accept is ripped from her hands.

Now hunted and alone, Nalia's only refuge is the man who once refused her, and whose darkness is as lethal as the creatures he kills. Bound by survival, secrets, and a growing pull neither of them can deny, Nalia must decide how much of herself she's willing to lose to claim vengeance... and whether trusting Talen will save her, or destroy them both.
