Nikos doesn't mean to run from his people. But ever since he's been brought back to life, no one has quite looked at him the same, and he just needs to breathe. When he stumbles into a plot of mages being stolen by awful creatures and finds someone in need of his help, he leaps at the chance to run away from his responsibilities a little longer. Juniper has never felt at home in civilisation, only in the heart of the forest. But when her twin brother is taken from their isolated home, and a mysterious stranger appears and offers his help, she has little choice but to accept the additional advantage. Neither is what the other has come to expect, and both know much more about vulnerability and fear than they want to admit. But when they learn that the being behind the abductions is none other than a corrupted, magic-eating dragon, both hunters know that only a powerful alliance can bring it down. Problem is, with every moment they spend together, they risk falling into the most dangerous thing of all... intimacy. A bisexual romantasy set one year after the epilogue of A Crimson Covenant. Can be read as a standalone.
