Just when I thought I’d survived the worst of it, the universe found a new way to test me. The Nightfall Shield is coming to Imperium.The same bonded warriors who shattered my trust in love. The same bond I’m still trying to survive. The same heartbreak I’ve barely learned how to cope with. Now I’m supposed to stand in front of them and pretend I’m fine. To pretend like my soul isn't screaming every time they look at me. The Stardust Shield believes I’m the key to bringing our species home, but belief doesn’t make me a savior. It doesn’t erase the pain. It doesn’t make nine powerful warriors suddenly willing to work together when half of them would rather draw blood than share the same room. But the fate of our people is bigger than my broken heart. So I’ll put myself back together piece by fragile piece. I’ll face the men who ruined me. I’ll convince two shields to unite, even if every step brings me closer to losing what's left of my trust. I never asked to be the one who saved everyone. But fate never cared what I wanted. This is the third and final book in The 13th Zodiac Trilogy.
