Book 5
Reunited is supposed to mean happily ever after.
But it doesn't.
Stirling can't forget the sting on his cheek or the betrayal in his heart.
Severing her chains to Lumierna, Amiria escapes hoping for the life Stirling once promised her. Them in a house he built. But this is not a fairytale. What they experienced cannot be forgotten, and forgiveness does not come easily. Stirling - Amiria's only solid ground - begins to crumble beneath her to become a base for someone else. With nothing left to hold her together, Amiria starts to unravel.
Calix is the one who catches her loose threads... and begins to pull.
Meanwhile, the three former guards of Lumierna have settled into Leucasia. Robert and William adapt easily to their new lives, but Clyde remains haunted by the past. Though he longs to open himself to love again, the memories around his heart have become a noose, leaving him terrified to fall.
With a single thread leading back to Patu, will the flame sparked between Calix and Amiria destroy everything Stirling has worked for?
