First published 2015
Aden and Zaira wake up injured in a dark cell. Someone has blocked their psychic powers. The two Arrow soldiers break out of their prison and find themselves stranded in a brutal wilderness. They must reach the territory of a changeling pack that kills intruders. Their survival matters beyond their own lives. An unknown enemy hunts the Arrow squad and plans to destroy them. Aden will do anything to save his people and build them a future where assassins can live without violence. Zaira believes she cannot be saved. The emotional conditioning called Silence broke her mind years ago. She lives only to protect Aden, the one person who never abandoned her. But Aden's love may not be enough this time. Silence existed to control people like Zaira, the violent and broken ones who cannot feel without destroying everything around them.
