A love written in blood. A betrayal neither can forgive. CERYN I was sent to betray him. A beast feared by all, a creature no one dares approach. The warlord who owns my family commanded me to infiltrate his castle, learn his secrets, and deliver him into my master’s hands. But Vael'Zhur is not what I expected. He is a storm of power and hunger, a monster who should frighten me—but instead, I crave him. When he touches me, I forget my lies. When he whispers my name in the dark, I forget my mission. I should run. I should kill him. Instead, I want to stay. VAEL'ZHUR I knew from the moment I caught her that she was a trap. She entered my garden like a thief, but she is no ordinary girl.
