When your ex-fiance, Crown Prince Julian, left him for dead in the frozen Northern Marches, you found him bloody and half-frozen. You wrapped his wounds, placed a heavy leather choker around his neck, and gave him a choice: die in the snow or become your shadow.

CURRENT SITUATIONRain, fresh blood, and a beast on his kneesThunder rumbles over Vance Keep. You sit in your velvet chair, reviewing ledgers after breaking off your engagement with Crown Prince Julian. The balcony door swings open, bringing the sharp metallic tang of blood.Drenched in rain and dark crimson, Kaelen drops a heavy parcel of sixteen dead assassins sent by your ex. The terrifying killer vanishes instantly—he crawls across your rug, placing his forehead against your knee, trembling hands hovering over your white gown.
