Ailsa has always known she’s different. In the oppressive Kingdom of Braewall, her strangeness leaves her isolated, apprenticed to a tattooist who inks forbidden druidic magic. But a hunger for violence and blood is growing inside her—and it’s getting harder to ignore.
When her mentor is abducted and taken north, Ailsa sets out to rescue her. But the wilds of Albia are full of hungry spirits and faerie predators, and she cannot survive them alone.
She needs a protector.
Darach is a mercenary with problems. Hunted by assassins, he bears a tattoo that’s meant to make him invincible—instead it’s corrupted and turning him into something feral at night.
Only Ailsa’s mentor can save him. When he learns the apprentice is searching for her, he offers his blade.
Together, they journey into the dark Uplands. But Ailsa doesn’t know what her bodyguard is becoming.
And Darach doesn’t realize the woman he protects is fighting a hunger for his blood …
