Ísla Vael was raised to be useful. As the eldest daughter of House Vael, she learned how to read alliances, obey power, and survive the kind of world where daughters are turned into instruments. But when she steals an infant from House Dorn and disappears into the western dark, she does the one thing her family never expected: she chooses something for herself. The child she carries is not ordinary. Mira is a bloodline infant, born with a power the old order wants erased before it can grow. And Kas Morvein, the most dangerous hunter on the western routes, has been paid to find Ísla and bring her back. He should return her. Instead, he follows. As Houses close in and ancient forces begin to stir around the child, Ísla and Kas are driven north across ruined roads, marshes, and hostile territory toward the only place that may still protect girls like Mira. But the closer they get, the more dangerous the road becomes — and so does the bond growing between them. Because Kas is not only the man sent to hunt her. He is also the first man who sees what she is beneath everything her father tried to make her. Now with enemies behind them, power waking in the dark, and a child who could change the future of the North, Ísla must decide who she will be when the running ends. Because some women are raised to be used. Others survive long enough to become impossible to control.

Einar has spent years as the coldest, most controlled man in the North — the king’s advisor, the keeper of law, and the one person no crisis has ever managed to break. Then he is sent into the Neutral Territories to retrieve a dangerous Root wielder before the wrong people reach her first. He expects a mission. What he finds is Neva: a wild, sharp-tongued survivor with unstable ancient power in her blood, hunters on her trail, and no reason to trust the court that wants to bring her in. The moment Einar touches her, the mate bond strikes — fast, complete, and impossible to ignore. Now trapped together in a land of ruins, pursuit, and old magic, they are forced into a journey neither of them wants and neither can walk away from. But Neva carries more than dangerous power. Something in her blood is tied to a buried inheritance older than the wolf queens themselves, and the people hunting her are not after the girl. They are after what her survival will unlock. As the bond between them turns from liability into temptation, Einar’s control begins to crack for the first time in years. And in a story built on secrecy, survival, and a fate neither of them chose, the most dangerous thing in the Territories may not be what is chasing them — but what awakens when they stop running. The story of the North continues in the next novel: The Winter of Salt and Blood.

“Let me go,” she snarled, kicking at his legs. Kane exhaled against her ear, sending shivers down her spine. “You really don’t listen, do you?” She twisted violently, trying to break free, but he only tightened his hold. “Enough,” he murmured, his voice low. Aria’s chest heaved. She hated this—hated how easily he overpowered her, how her body reacted to his nearness. The mate bond burned between them, making her stomach coil in frustration. “You can’t keep me here forever,” she snapped. Kane leaned down slightly, his lips brushing dangerously close to her ear. “Watch me.”

Without sparing the girl as little as a second glance, the demi-god stepped into the luxurious car and it soon disappeared out of sight. Mia was stunned.

Jordan replied, and a mischievous smirk settled on his lips. I looked at them warily, unsure of how to answer his questions.
