"I’ve spent thirteen years on the front line. You think a single elf in snuff cuffs is going to make me crap my pants?”His dismissive sneer should have told me everything.I’m Asha Lopez, arcane soldier. I break enemies for a living. This one won’t bend, and worse, he makes my pulse do things it shouldn’t.Then he starts talking.What he gives me isn’t mission intel.

It’s a fuse: secrets about the fifteen-year gate war that could light our world on fire if they ever see daylight. A deep and ugly truth about who I really am.Every thread I pull tightens the noose around his neck. And around mine. Turn in the confession that condemns him, or torch my career, my country’s narrative, and everything I’ve been trained to believe to keep him alive.They taught me how to break prisoners.

They never prepared me for the one who’d break me instead. And falling for the enemy? That’s a death sentence.A gritty near-future military urban fantasy with a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance that unfolds across the series. Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews and Lindsay Buroker who want their fantasy with both heart and teeth.
