You can't outrun fate. But Ashley's sure as hell going to try.
Ashley has never been able to control her chaotic magic. Not in the job she just lost, and definitely not in the life she's barely holding together in Southend.
So, when a warrior wrapped in onyx smoke drags her kicking and screaming into Sheyole, an ancient, cursed world convinced she's the key to its freedom, she's sure they've kidnapped the wrong woman.
But the deeper she's pulled into this strange world of fae courts, forgotten monsters, and bloodied thrones, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth. Especially when the pull towards the soldier who brought her here becomes impossible to resist.
Because in Sheyole, freedom is never free.
And some destinies refuse to be denied.
