The mountain sings to me. And so does he. An ancient power is waking beneath Arenix’s peaks—and I’m the only one who can hear its call. The Council fears me. The Aerie Kin want me gone. Only Iros, a fierce Nyxari hunter bound by duty, walks beside me into the mountains' heart. He says he's here to protect me. But every brush of his hand, every lingering glance, says otherwise. In the wilds, there’s no escaping the pull between us. No denying the heat simmering beneath every stolen touch. And when the mountain’s secrets rise to meet us, the real danger won’t just be survival—It will be surrender. If I fail, this world will fall. If I fall for him… I might never find my way back. Stranded on an alien world. Bound by ancient power. Each step toward survival forges a bond no heart can escape. Don't miss the next book of the Nyxari Bondmates!
