Jessamy has taught angelic children and preserved her people's stories for thousands of years. Born without the ability to fly, she remains confined to the Refuge while other angels soar freely through the skies. Her isolation deepens into profound loneliness until Galen arrives from a warrior court. The weapons master speaks bluntly and knows violence better than romance. He has no skill with tender words or courtship rituals. But Galen wants Jessamy as his own. He vows to dance with her through the very skies that have been forbidden to her since birth. Their growing attraction ignites into fierce passion. Yet their bond faces threats from the brewing conflicts and instability that surround them. Jessamy must decide whether to risk her guarded heart for a love that could lift her beyond her earthbound prison.
