Wren Calder has spent her whole life proving she belongs before anyone gives her the chance to earn it. As the only investigator willing to chase a pattern of impossible attacks nobody else takes seriously, she doesn't have room left to want anything for herself until a border she was never meant to cross puts her face to face with the one dragon sworn to keep her out.
Ashryn Voske has walked the same border for nine thousand days, alone, guarding a wound that isn't supposed to be able to heal. He doesn't trust outsiders. He trusts her even less, the moment he learns what she is. But her evidence is too precise to dismiss, and the danger closing in is bigger than either of them: a three-hundred-year-old injustice, buried and forgotten, now waking up hungry for revenge.
As the investigation pulls them deeper into secrets neither of their worlds wanted uncovered, the wary truce between them turns into something neither can walk back from. But some bonds cost everything to claim - and not everyone survives finding out what they're truly worth.
A slow-burn, fated-mates romance with teeth: forced proximity, a morally complex villain, and a heroine who refuses to be anyone's exception.
