About the Book

Born of storms. Forged in shadows. Doomed to love.



Cassie Stormriven has been living her life in a gilded cage, bound by her family’s demands, trapped by her storm powers. Desperate for freedom, she flees to the Twilight Markets, only to fall to a deadly arrow. On the edge of death, Cassie strikes a dangerous bargain with Sorin Nightshade, a man known for making deals in the darkness. Thrown together by violence and betrayal, Cassie and Sorin must rely on each other to survive. Yet every uneasy alliance sharpens into friction, every clash of will sparks against something darker, hotter, and far more dangerous than either of them can admit. Because in a world of secrets and lies, even enemies can’t hide what their hearts betray. And when love finally ignites, it may be the very thing that destroys them both.
