He'd left nothing but breath between their bodies　She tried to move, but he held her tighter. Stay.”

Thessa Skiafer is a young witch and bladesmith, with a secret to keep. Living in a realm guarded by Elemental soldiers, makes this a very dangerous truth to hold. Perhaps that's why she suffers with anxiety; she lives in a world she does not belong in.

When a demon uncovers her lies, he offers her sanctuary in return for joining his rebellion. Though she's reluctant to fight, she's quickly captivated by his magic.

After a brutal attack against him, her trust blooms alongside her feelings. Thessa learns the price of freedom, as well as love, and fighting for both will either kill or complete her.
