Now he was a man who won't hold her gaze.
As a dragon dreamer, Zyla can walk the Void and hear the creatures trapped within it. But the more she listens, the more unstable the Void becomes—and if it shatters, it could destroy both the dragons and the world they left behind.
Saving them means repairing the Void… or destroying it completely.
And that choice will uncover truths no one wants revealed.
Including the truth about her mentor—the man who raised her, trained her, and may have been controlling her all along.
Now Zyla is caught between impossible demands: protect the forests the dragons need to survive, stop the growing damage to the Void, and outmaneuver the mentor who taught her not to trust anyone at all.
Especially Seguin.
Chosen as her protector, he challenges her decisions, withholds truths, and refuses to let her face danger alone. The more they’re forced to rely on each other, the harder it becomes to ignore what’s growing between them.
In a world of dangerous magic, hidden truths, and rising power, trust may be the most dangerous risk of all.
Because this quest isn’t just about saving the world.
It’s about surviving each other.
Perfect for readers who love clean, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, magical creatures, and powerful heroines discovering the truth about their magic.
