Senna has three days to save her sister from the Rot. The cure costs a kingdom, and the only way to get it is to steal the Heartstonea legendary artifact guarded by a monster in the peaks. She expects a heist. She expects a fight. She doesn't expect the stone to wake up.
Instead of being stolen, the magic fuses to her chest, rewriting her biology and turning her into a ticking time bomb. Now, the only thing keeping her from incinerating the mountainside is Gorvek, the terrifying Orc Guardian sworn to protect the very thing she tried to take.
Gorvek is a wall of scarred muscle and iron duty. He should have executed her the moment she touched the dais. Instead, he’s forced to become her anchor. To keep the magic from consuming her, he must touch herskin to skin, heat to coldgrounding the lethal fire with his own body. Trapped in the Deep Roads with a woman who burns like the sun, the monk-like Guardian finds his resolve shattering. Senna is the enemy, the thief, the vessel... and the only thing that has ever made him feel alive.
