In a world that doesn’t forgive, Rem Lumes has found a way to survive. A self-taught thief and swordsman bound by an honor code, Rem is a mercenary up for grabs to the highest bidder. His specialty is returning stolen items to their original owners. One bad job lands Rem on the wrong side of the Legion, a clan of sorcerers, and the only way to repay the debt is to return Luca, a Legion runaway. Rem would do almost anything to not be in the Legion’s debt. Even take Luca back, someone too entangled in the Legion’s web to know better. When Luca’s power starts to unravel and his life becomes endangered, Rem promises to do anything to protect him. Anything except betraying the Legion. But what will Rem do when he realizes the Legion may be what’s endangering Luca’s life the most?

Not final cover. Niel Sommerset’s life has gone through many labels. Son, grandchild, outcast, liar, friend. A child of the Legion, he has a power few people trust. The power to influence others with just a touch. All Niel wants is to climb the ranks of the Nevenen Legion clan. A wish derailed when he met Rem Lumes, a thief, and used him to try and steal his great-grandmother’s will, an indiscretion forbidden by his clan. As penance for the crime, Niel is ordered to accompany Rem and retrieve Luca, one of the clan’s missing members. Niel’s journey with Rem and Luca allowed him to discover more about himself, his power, and everything that is wrong with the Legion. A betrayer to his clan, Niel has no choice but to hide and start a new life far from anything he ever knew. He no longer wants to keep the label of Legion. Bitten and marked by a vampire Niel just wants to survive his new label: prey.
