Sarah’s Story:

Beaten so badly she couldn’t see past the blood—couldn’t breathe past the pain—Sarah thought the flashing lights of the ambulance and the EMT shouting “We’re losing her” would be the end.

But the Veil had other plans.
Pulled into a new world, Sarah was given a second chance. A new body. A place among strangers. And a chance to survive.
Eighteen months later, she’s still haunted by the brutal betrayal that ended her life. She keeps to herself, hiding the scars no one sees and pretending she’s fine. Only Taylor, her closest friend, knows the truth—and even she doesn’t know everything.

Sarah doesn’t trust males. Not even the kind ones. Not even Valen, who tries so hard to win her heart.
But fate doesn’t care what she wants.

When she crosses paths with one of the Rone—the most feared species in all the realms—her world tilts again. He’s massive, terrifying… and something about him calls to a part of her she thought was long dead.

As fear clashes with desire, Sarah will have to decide if surviving is enough… or if she dares to want more.
Can the nightmare king save a broken woman from her past—or will the fire between them consume them both?
