Lilac Whitter has had her entire life planned out from the day she was born. Bound by familial obligation, she had been promised to the future Synod One since birth, and as such, her future was clear. Attend Lexenos, marry her betrothed, produce an heir, and live in the lap of luxury until the end of her days. She threw herself into wedding planning, and she was more than ready for the rest of her life to begin. That is until she met Rune Surrey, the rugged, infuriating, technology prodigy in Brigand she would never consider looking twice at. He's self-assured, self-sufficient, and powerful. He's her polar opposite in every way, yet he possesses every trait she's attracted to. From their very first encounter he has been under her skin, and his attentions are only a distraction from the path laid out before her. When her betrothed leaves her jilted without a backup plan, she has no choice but to consider a new path. Rune shouldn't want the pristine rich girl from the highest segment who was set to marry the would-be king. Lilac shouldn't want the bossy outlaw from the lowest segment who thinks he knows what she needs. Their attraction to each other shouldn't make sense. But with the world crumbling around them...somehow it's the only thing that does.
