For a thousand years, the Unseen Shield has protected Rhea Ashwood’s kingdom, trapping the Angel of Death and his demonic army beneath a shadowy dome. As a Guardian—one of the kingdom’s elite soldiers—Rhea has spent her life fighting the creatures that manage to break through. Among a male-dominated order, she serves in its rare all-female unit—disciplined, loyal, and bound to no one.
So when the King decrees that all eligible women, including her unit, must take part in the Ceremony—a forced marriage rite to “preserve the population”—Rhea is furious. Guardians have always been exempt. And she refuses to be bound to anyone, least of all the possessive Crown Prince.
In truth, Rhea has a far more pressing issue: Jove, her bonded partner and closest friend—long presumed dead inside the Shield—is alive. Worse still, the Angel of Death has marked her as the key to his escape. Crossing the Shield to save Jove could doom the very world she’s sworn to protect.
Desperate for answers, Rhea turns to Kol, a sharp-tongued exile from the Banished—descendants of those who once served the Angel himself. Kol is reckless, infuriating, and far too tempting to trust. And when the Crown Prince forces his way into their mission, Rhea’s carefully guarded heart begins to crack.
With war looming and her heart pulled in three directions, Rhea must make an impossible choice:
Rescue the boy who shares her soul…
Or risk everything for the one who threatens to claim it.
