Survive. Do not get curious. Do not get careless. And do not love.
Amara has lived by those rules her entire life. Trained to kill and trust no one, she's survived by selling her blade, refusing every attachment, and saving enough coin to escape the war-torn continent she calls home.
But after settling at Clamore, an elite mountain academy, the fragile safety she's built begins to crack. War seeps through its walls-and Amara isn't collateral damage.
She's the prize.
As one of the last remaining Nephilim, she carries a power that could tip the balance in an ages-old war between Angels and Demons. Forced to train for a destiny she never asked for, Amara must learn to wield abilities that could save the continent..or burn it.
When an alliance binds her to Vork, the deadly Lycan commander, he sees the woman beneath the weapon and makes her question the rules that have kept her alive.
And desire soon proves as dangerous as any blade.
With enemies closing in and the continent on the brink of collapse, Amara must choose: step into the power, alliance, and love she never wanted, or condemn Masos to ruin and survive the only way she knows how.
