She flew into enemy territory to find peace. He pulled her from the river and made her his prisoner.
Zara Stormwright is done being protected. As Kael’s little sister, she has spent her whole life in his shadow — admired, guarded, underestimated.
So when the chance comes to broker peace with the Deep Runners alone, she takes it. One diplomatic mission. One chance to prove herself.
Then she falls into the river. And he pulls her out.
The scaled warrior has no interest in surface dwellers. He does, however, have very strong opinions about what to do with an enemy Storm Eagle who was shot down by his people despite her diplomatic mission.
He saves her, convinced she deserves a fair trial by their Elder vs. the execution his commander sentenced her to.
Her proximity, however, creates an unexpected complication when it ignites a mate bond that demands completion.
Trapped in his world, surrounded by enemies, Zara realizes the pull between them is not something she can fight — and neither can he. But their clans are still at war, and peace was never going to be easy.
Can two people from opposite worlds choose each other when everything around them demands they don’t?
Perfect for fans of captive romance, enemies to lovers, fated mates, and sea shifter fantasy with fierce heroines who refuse to stay rescued.
