A chance encounter with Naira mir Taara, a young Twilight witch and healer, forces Sai mirsh Kamir, the head of security of the Narg clan, to reconsider everything he thought he wanted from life.
Naira has more than enough troubles of her own. Exiled from her House in all but name, she is trying to escape an unwanted marriage arranged by her powerful relatives. The last thing she needs is the attention of a dangerous Narg whose gaze makes her feel both protected and exposed.
But when an Ezhtir she once saved attempts to abduct her, Naira's fragile safety shatters. Sai offers her his protection, his name, and a place by his side.
Yet what truly drives him? A desire to help a woman in danger, or motives far deeper and far more binding than Naira is ready to believe?
