Whether regarded as man or monster, half-elven Dominic has always been alone. Sent by his lord on a journey to find the answers that Kelemir needs to survive the coming storm with Lyntara, Dominic finds not only his life, but his mission in jeopardy when a single mistake sends him hurtling off-course.

Now bound against his will to a reclusive necromancer with secrets of her own, he may no longer be alone but he's also no longer free, and the bond they share can be a deadly one. Can he survive their bond and complete his mission, or will Kelemir's last hope for standing against Lyntara die with him?

This story ends on a cliffhanger.
