She vows to bring her abducted queen home...even if she has to work with the man she hates. Knightmaster Nea Laurier is tough, dedicated, and lives to be the best Oronis knight she can be. All her life, she's worked hard to live up to her prestigious family name. She will do whatever it takes to rescue Knightqueen Carys from their enemy, the vicious Gek'Dragar...she just wishes it didn't involve the most cunning and dangerous man she knows. A man she detested when they were at the Academy, and a man she still detests-Knighthunter Kaden Galath.

Now she's headed deep into enemy space, and the only person guarding her back is a man she'll never trust.

Knighthunter Kaden Galath was born in the darkness and came from nothing. Being a knighthunter-a spy for his people-is the perfect job for him. He uses all his unique and deadly abilities to keep the Oronis safe, even the beautiful, perfect, do-gooder Knightmaster Nea. He's vowed to always stay alone in the shadows...but Nea might be the weakness he never expected.

As Kaden and Nea embark on a mission to some of the deadliest enemy planets, they fight side by side, and uncover each other's darkest secrets. Following the trail leading to their captive queen, Nea and Kaden will face their most dangerous battle yet, and a fiery passion that will engulf them both.
