Orion Blackwood was the Empire's deadliest huntsman-a man forged in fighting pits, sharpened by war, and transformed into the Crown's perfect executioner. For five years, he has hunted the creatures of the Sylvan Verge without mercy, carrying the legendary sword Archon's Ruin and the calcified heart of the fairy king he once executed. To Orion, love is a weakness, mercy is a forgotten language, and redemption is something meant for better men.Then, in the rain-soaked Blackfen Brier, he finds a dying fairy caught in an imperial iron trap.She is beautiful, fragile, and dangerous. Her wings are shattered, her body poisoned by cold iron, and her blood is worth a fortune to the Empire. Orion has only one duty: kill her, collect her blood, and deliver her remains to the Crown.Instead, he breaks the trap.He carries the wounded fairy into his hidden sanctuary and risks everything to save her life. The fairy calls herself Lyris, claiming to be nothing more than a wanderer of the outer Verge. But Orion knows she is hiding something. Her royal blood, her impossible magic, and the strange resonance between her heartbeat and the ancient crystal inside his sword reveal that she is far more important than she pretends to be.As the Empire's hounds close in, Orion and Lyris are forced into an uneasy alliance. He must protect the woman he was ordered to hunt, while she struggles to trust the man who helped destroy her kingdom. Between them lies a history written in blood: Orion was the executioner who killed her father, High King Oberith, while she is the daughter who survived the massacre.Yet hatred begins to give way to something neither of them expected.Lyris sees beyond the Empire's monster and discovers the wounded man buried beneath Orion's armor. Orion, meanwhile, finds in her the first light to reach the darkness inside him since the Great Sylvan Purge. Their connection grows stronger as her magic suppresses the blood-geas binding him to the Carrion King, while the mysterious heart of Oberith's sword begins to awaken whenever they touch.But their love carries a terrible price.The Empire wants Lyris captured and her celestial blood harvested. King Dominic intends to use her power to strengthen his dying reign, while Grayson Lockwood-the ruthless Houndmaster-will stop at nothing to bring Orion back under imperial control. Worse, Orion's own past threatens to destroy the fragile trust between them when Lyris finally reveals that she knew from the beginning exactly who he was.She knew he was her father's executioner.She knew what he had done.And she still chose to believe that the man standing before her could become something more than the weapon the Empire created.When Orion is finally forced to choose between obeying the King and saving the fairy he has come to love, he makes the one decision that can never be undone: he turns his sword against the Empire.Now the legendary huntsman must become the protector of the woman whose father he killed, while Ophelia must decide whether love can truly overcome the bloodshed between their worlds.Their enemies call them traitors.Their kingdoms call them monsters.But together, they may become the beginning of a new age-one where a broken huntsman discovers that the greatest battle he will ever fight is not against monsters, but for the right to love, choose, and finally become human again.
