The task was simple – kill the witch. But what happens when the bounty hunter falls in love with his target?

Kenna McCairn has spent thirty-two years surviving the way the unwanted always do: out of sight, in the places no one dares to tread. Half-Fae, half-witch, and deemed an abomination, she hides in the dreaded In-Between, trading herbal cures and guarding her freedom like the only treasure she has left. The world has taken enough from her – her parents, her childhood, and, more than anything, her trust.

But when Killian Cambell enters her life, her carefully secluded life goes up in shambles. He’s a half-Fae bounty hunter with eyes like silvered steel, scars that match her own, and orders from above to put a dagger through her heart. It should have been routine – he’s done worse for less. But before steel meets skin, something awakens: a mating bond between predator and prey that no magic can undo.

Now the two are bound together, and they soon find themselves dragged into the poisonous politics of the Fae Kingdom. Lies coil around them, the Fae King’s manipulations tightening until Kenna is forced to confront her true heritage – and a sick demand to “purify” the royal bloodline.

With rebellion rising and war tightening its noose, Kenna and Killian must decide: stand united and topple a tyrant or fall divided, just another pair of pawns in the Fae King’s ruthless game.
