As a phoenix on the run from her Legion, I’ve done my best to stay one step ahead of the hunters on my tail. So far, I’ve managed to hide from everyone—everyone except Rhys.

Bonded against my will, I’ve avoided my mate for the better part of a century—hating him for the life he stole from me. But he’s always there. Waiting. Watching.

When I’m found, it’s my mate who saves me from a fate worse than death. It’s the mate I rejected who keeps me free. But being this close to him comes at a price—one I don’t want to pay.

Because if we’re going to survive, choosing him may be the only option I have left.
