Synopsis
Ser Aldric and his team are running out of time. A rebel leader threatens the stability of the crown, and only one person has the skill to find them. Lorelie is a bounty hunter who never quits and never loses. Hired to track down the rebel mastermind, she follows a dangerous thread that leads straight to the infamous Red Feathers, a gang as ruthless as they are deadly. Lorelie intends to see the hunt through to the end, no matter who she has to kill. Julius has already lost everything. His life burned away before his eyes, leaving behind only ash and ghosts he cannot outrun. Seeking refuge among a rebel merchant caravan filled with old friends, he finds himself unable to escape the past. But when a chance to reclaim a piece of his old life is in reach, he will do anything to get it and to get revenge on The Red Feathers for what they've done. Even if it costs him what little he has left. Once, Lorelie and Julius were something more. Young. In love. Trained to be killers. Now they work on opposite sides of an explosive conflict, each hunting a truth that could destroy them both. As their paths collide, old wounds reopen, and buried secrets rise to the surface-threatening not just their lives, but the fate of Kalteras itself. In a world of shifting loyalties and deadly secrets, the past never stays buried, and neither do the consequences. Perfect for fans of gritty fantasy stories, emotional revelations, high-stakes intrigue, and morally grey characters, this gripping tale will leave you questioning where loyalty ends.
