Don't think. Don't feel. Just obey.

She's everything I hate in this world. Ruthless. Cold. A stone-hearted villain. And she'll do whatever it takes to keep me in line. With the lives of my bonded in her stony grasp, I must do as she says—biding my time until my people are safe.

But fate has other plans, and a surprise visit leaves me reeling, setting in motion a chain of events that I'm helpless to stop.

Forced to hunt a terrible relic under the watchful eyes of the mate who hates me, I chafe in my new role. He claims to want the same thing as me—freedom from this damn bond. But the heat in those golden eyes says differently, and each time he loses control, it destroys just a bit more of my carefully constructed walls....

Between him watching my every move, my mates haunting my dreams, and the bonds acting in new, strange ways, it's all I can do to keep my head down and my emotions in check.

I must complete my mission and keep everyone safe. Failure is not an option.

Can I outwit the Stone Sage in time?

Join Kaiya and her mates on the Forsaken Isle—a place full of dragons, monsters, twisted magic, and a painful truth that could change everything.
