Story Notes

Summary

Haunted by her past, Cemre stands frozen in place while the boat she was supposed to be on sails away without her. Determined not to be a burden on the people she loves, she takes matters into her own hands and sets off across Ranidos alone. After a fateful encounter in the desert, she’ll have to depend on an unlikely hero if she wants to make it to Paleem alive. Straight off yet another failure, the last thing Sabri Forbiros expects is to rescue anyone, but when he stumbles upon a woman in need, he barely hesitates. Suddenly responsible for this fierce woman whose secrets run as deep as her skill with a blade, he embarks on a journey that leaves him questioning everything—about her and himself. Meanwhile, a cryptic message from Hafiz’s past draws him back into the desert, forcing him to confront long-buried feelings—both about the humble life he left behind and his future as one of the most powerful men in Ranidos.
