Five years ago, Saber Isles walked away from her mate. She didn't have a choice. As a changeling tiger working for the Realm Defence Unit, she had spent years enforcing the oldest rule of her kind: humans stay in the dark while her people bled in the shadows-a rule that her kind had maintained for thousands of years. That fragile secrecy shatters when a Demonic War erupts, and humans get a brutal awakening.
For the first time, they fight shoulder to shoulder with creatures they never knew existed. Riddled with remorse for leaving her mate unprotected, Saber searches for him, but a foolish mistake leads to her capture. The enemy is determined to turn her rogue-to exploit the tiger's power and cunning for their own ends. Kayde has spent years trying-and failing-to forget the woman who vanished from his life without a trace.
Battle-hardened and exhausted, he's buried the hollow place she left behind under discipline, loyalty, and the day-to-day grind of war. But when his path finally crosses Saber's again, it's not the sharp-tongued, guarded woman he finds. It's a wounded tiger who watches him with familiar eyes.with no way to tell him the truth. Thrown together on a high-risk mission through nightmare realms and collapsing borders, Saber and Kayde must navigate hostile territory, political landmines, and a fiercely loyal found family who refuse to stand down.
Old wounds reopen. Old sparks ignite.???????To survive, they'll have to trust the bond she's spent five years denying-and accept that sometimes the only way to win a war is to stand shoulder to shoulder with the one person she can't bear to lose.
