Coryn's life is defined by battle. As the Retriever for Sentinel, her job is to infiltrate the enemy territory of Grave Shadows and bring captured comrades home. But when a trusted scout betrays her team, leading to the capture of her brother Felix and healer Cait, Coryn's fury knows no bounds. Her desperate rescue attempt succeeds in freeing them but ends with her as a prisoner of the sadistic Axl Grave.

Subjected to interrogation and brutal violence, Coryn is on the verge of death when an unexpected savior intervenes: Nicolaren Grave, Axl's brother and a mage of immense power. Nico heals her wounds and hides her in his secret, magical sanctuary, defying his family and his entire legacy. Despite their opposing sides, an irresistible pull draws them together, a connection that manifests in electric sparks and a shared strength, marking them as soulmates.

Their fledgling trust is tested when Axl's cruelty reaches a devastating peak, and they are forced to flee to Sentinel. As they integrate into Coryn's world, they discover their bond is the key to defeating Dante, the tyrannical leader of Grave Shadows who wields a terrifying dark magic that is consuming the land itself.

From brutal battles and heart-stopping escapes to the raw, passionate emergence of their soulmate bond, Coryn and Nico must unite Sentinel and Grave's rebels for a final stand. They will delve into forgotten histories, unlock ancient powers, and face the darkest magic, all for a chance to heal their fractured world and forge a new future together.
