Clark and Adelaide think their lives can't get any worse. Until they meet each other.
Adelaide-heiress to the wealthiest man in the Ceithren Empire-has felt a void since her sister's death. Just as she's resigned herself to the empty life her father chose for her, a relic from a world that shouldn't exist plunges her into chaos.
Clark-son of the greatest terrorist the empire has ever known-is still reeling from his father's death. Since then, his life has boiled down to two things: his brothers and his next mission. When his mission to bring back a mystical artifact goes awry, he's forced to choose between getting the job done and saving the life of a spoiled socialite.
But Clark isn't the only one after the artifact.
He and Adelaide must work together to survive … if only they can manage to avoid killing each other before their enemies have the chance.
