He was the monster fate chose for her, and the only one ruthless enough to keep her alive.
For years, Cadence survived by hiding in the shadows, shrinking herself to remain unnoticed.
Unremarkable. Overlooked. Safe.
But fate was a tyrant she could never escape.
Now, she’s done running. She’s ready to claim her power, surrendering to her need for retribution, her hunger for blood.
Ryker’s blood.
But with enemies closing in from all sides, Cadence and Ryker must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice — how much they are willing to destroy — to survive.
Cadence
My Captor. My Conqueror. My Mate.
I vowed to be his ruination, and he claimed me anyway.
He thought he could cage me, that he owned me.
While he continued to underestimate me, I moved in silence, setting the board for his fall.
And when the end comes, he’ll learn one truth above all others: I never break my vows.
Ryker
My Wife. My Temptress. My Mate.
I’ve done terrible things to keep Cadence at my side.
And yet, I would do worse, far worse, to protect what is mine.
She believes I control her, blind to the devastation she commands.
But Cadence could crumble the Unseelie Kingdom.
Every thought, every decision, every breath… she’s the reason for it all. She possesses the power to utterly ruin me, making her the most dangerous creature in the realm… because I would destroy everything before I’d let her fall.
As their enemies make their final play, Cadence and Ryker’s bond will be pushed to its breaking point. When loyalty wages war against survival, and desire collides with betrayal, it will become both their greatest weapon… and their most devastating weakness.
