Kai opens her eyes in a forest she doesn't recognize. Her memory is gone. The land around her crawls with unnatural creatures and disease. She knows only one thing: she must reach the Sea of Devour or face something worse than this nightmare realm. When raiders attack a nearby village, Kai watches the local blacksmith fight with impossible skill. He offers to help her journey to the sea. She accepts, though he irritates her as much as he impresses her. The blacksmith can make her skin burn with desire one moment and freeze her blood the next. As they travel through the kingdom of Vinevridth, Kai searches for clues about her identity. Every answer leads to new mysteries. The blacksmith guards secrets that could prove as dangerous as the hostile land itself. In this place, no one reveals their true nature. Kai must decide who to trust when her survival depends on a man whose hidden past might destroy them both.
