Description
Annalise just wanted a quiet life in her small-town sanctuary, tucked away from the chaos of the world. But destiny has a sharp, jagged edge when she discovers a wounded woman bleeding out in the shadows of her garden. This stranger is unlike anyone Annalise has ever met—possessing ethereal beauty, pointed ears, and a desperate, guarded intensity that screams danger.
Her name is Ash, and she is a refugee from another realm, a fae warrior currently fleeing for her life. As Annalise tends to Ash’s wounds, the thin veil between reality and myth begins to tear. Unnatural creatures haunt the edges of her property, and ruthless assassins from the fae courts are closing in, transforming her peaceful existence into a high-stakes battlefield.
Drawn into a dangerous game of survival, Annalise finds her protective instincts burning as bright as the fire between her and the enigmatic warrior. What starts as a simple act of mercy quickly blooms into an electrifying, forbidden romance. To keep Ash alive, Annalise must abandon her mundane life and embrace the magic—and peril—of a world she never knew existed. In the shadow of blades and betrayal, will their bond be enough to defy a destiny written in blood?
