Lena is a botanist, not a fighter. When she’s ripped from Earth and forced into the blood-soaked Shatterbone Arena, her only goal is survival. But the sadistic warden has other plans. She’s to be the victor’s spoils, a reward for the undefeated, winged monster known as Kace.
He is the last of the Avarians, a silent, terrifying warrior who has never known kindness. When he claims his prize, Lena expects cruelty. Instead, he shields her, protects her, and shares his meager rations with a silent intensity that terrifies and confuses her. There is more to this beast than the blood on his hands, a secret connection that binds them in a way she can’t comprehend.
But in the lawless world of the arena, this bond is not a strength—it’s a fatal weakness. The warden has discovered their secret and will use Lena to control his champion, forcing Kace to fight in ever-deadlier spectacles. To survive, the monster must keep playing his part, and the botanist must learn to fight back.
Perfect for fans of Ruby Dixon and Anna Zaires, this is a dark, thrilling sci-fi romance about finding light in the darkest of places.
