Kaia never planned to become the human centerpiece of a supernatural war. Yet after discovering the shadowkind hidden beside the mortal world, she has found herself traveling with four dangerous men whose monstrous forms are only part of what makes them impossible to ignore. Varek commands with the authority of an ancient hellhound, Zev turns charm into a weapon, Draven is built for battle, and Niko carries a power he fears more than any enemy. Together they are hunting the Order of Radiance, a secret organization that captures, studies, and destroys shadowkind in the name of protecting humanity. The Order has already proven it will use laboratories, mercenaries, and betrayal to get what it wants. Kaia has something it never expected: fire. As her strange abilities grow stronger, she becomes both an asset to Varek’s mission and a target the Order cannot afford to leave free. The road ahead forces Kaia closer to each of her companions, blurring the line between alliance, desire, and something far more dangerous to lose. But pressure is cracking the group from within. One of the men is terrified of what he becomes when he unleashes his full nature, and the hunters know exactly how to exploit weakness. To bring the Order down, Kaia will have to trust powers she still does not understand and men who may soon have to choose between returning to the shadows and staying with the mortal who has changed everything.
