Zora joins the Crimson Army Close quarters with a Royal Mage Secrets threaten their survival War rages amid storm magic Zora hides her dangerous past

Zora Ravenal didn’t join the Crimson Army to be a hero; she joined to destroy the empire. A skilled hunter hardened by loss, Zora claws her way into becoming a Knight Mage, the Commonwealth’s deadliest defense against the Empire’s storm magic and her people’s only hope.

Her plan falters. Stuck in a war she cannot walk away from, Zora hides dangerous secrets and finds herself shoved into very close quarters with a Royal Mage who has a body count, a temper, and an unsettling obsession with her. They are forced to train together, trust each other with their lives, and try not to kill one another as questions of who hunts whom grow darker.

Zora Ravenal, a hunter who became a Knight Mage in the Crimson Army, is forced into close partnership with a Royal Mage obsessed with her while war rages.
