Ten years later, Bastien has one chance to strike back, provided he relies on his former wingman?the very sister of the woman who testified against him. Major Ember Wyldestarrin joined the outlaw Tavali the day Kirovar fell to a tyrant, and she and her team were left to die under the barrage of enemy fire. Today, Ember vows revenge on those who murdered her parents and forced her and her sisters into exile. But joining forces with Bastien comes with a cost?and an attraction too dangerous for their own good. Is it worth the fight if losing means a fate worse than death?
