About this ebook

Cassian has spent his life learning what it means to be prey. As a Scaleborn, he escaped a colony ruled by stronger creatures, crossed into a human world that sees monsters as invasive threats, and learned to survive by hiding in damp places no one wants to enter. A farmhouse basement seems safe until the owners discover him and call Nightveil. Mara is the exterminator they send. She knows the rules. Monsters that do not belong in the human ecosystem can become dangerous, and her job exists to keep people safe. She arrives armed, cautious, and ready to remove the creature hiding behind the furnace. Then Cassian speaks. He is nervous, intelligent, strangely polite, and nothing like the mindless threat Mara expected. He has a name, a history, and a desperate desire for the freedom humans assume creatures cannot understand. Sparing him should be a simple act of mercy. Instead, it complicates everything Mara believes about her work. Cassian is still a monster by every official definition, and helping him could cost her job, her safety, and the certainty that has always made difficult choices easier. For Cassian, Mara is the first human with the power to end his life who chooses to see him as a person instead. The attraction growing between them is unexpected, inconvenient, and dangerous in a world still deciding which creatures deserve to exist. Nightveil taught Mara to identify threats. Cassian has spent his life running from predators. When those roles begin to blur, both of them will have to decide whether trust is worth becoming vulnerable to the one thing they have always feared most: being seen completely.
