Summary
For as long as Liora can remember, humans have taken advantage of Fae and magical beings, despite a fragile peace that offers that protection to those beneath it. Enslaved by human traders for years, Liora has endured relentless cruelty, her magic stifled by iron shackles and her hope slowly crushed. Survival became her only goal, her dreams of freedom buried beneath bruises and scars.
Everything changes when her caravan is ambushed by orcs, led by Zahala, the battle-hardened commander of the Hollow Wolf clan. Zahala never expected to find someone like Liora—frail, injured, but still burning with defiance—among the captives. From the moment their eyes meet, something within him stirs: a fierce need to protect her. But to Liora, freedom at the hands of anyone feels no better than life in chains. Trust is impossible—she’s certain the kindness comes with a price.
Zahala wants to prove otherwise. He seeks peace between orcs, Fae, and humans, and vows to keep Liora safe—even if she doesn’t want his protection. As winter deepens, their uneasy truce sparks a fragile bond. But trust is dangerous, and hearts hardened by pain are slow to heal. Together, they must decide if they’ll fight for freedom alone—or stand together.- Language:
