Magic is a weapon. And she is the shot no one can control. Audrey Palmer is an elite spy, lethal and silent. But her body hides a curse that consumes her from within: unstable magic ready to explode. When Dominic Locke, the iron-willed commander of the Northern Empire, captures her, he doesn't seek to torture her. He seeks to contain her. He is pure discipline; she is absolute chaos. What begins as a hunt becomes a deadly dance. Between cutting insults, sarcastic banter, and an electric attraction that could ignite the continent, they discover that their enemy isn't the opposing side but an ancient prophecy. Zachary Ashford, the Supreme Inquisitor, plans to purge magic to save the world, even if it means destroying it. Audrey and Dominic are the only hope... and the required sacrifice. They must secretly ally while fighting on opposite sides. On the battlefield, their chemistry is as lethal as their swords. In intimacy, passion is their only truth. But when duty clashes with desire, only one will survive the betrayal. A fast-paced erotic fantasy where war is the prelude and love, the final battle.
