In a life where loyalty is proven in blood, love is the deadliest betrayal.

Shadow and Slayer find comfort in the stillness of a midnight cemetery together. Anonymous to each other for self-preservation, they form a bond through scars and a brittle faith that there’s life beyond the violence that shaped them. A decade later, fate drags Evander and Maryn back into each other’s lives. Now, they stand on opposite sides of an underground war.

She’s a weapon. He’s her target.

Each heartbeat thumps closer to treason. Each touch threatens to collapse the world that holds them captive.

Can they escape unscathed or will their connection lead them to the ultimate sentence?
