My Blade, Your Back

After surviving the brutality of the Trials, Emery and Cameron are left with open wounds, broken trust, and a bond forged in blood. One month should have been enough time to breathe, but the Dark Forces world does not offer peace. Old scars are ripped open, hidden agendas begin to surface, and Emery discovers that her place in this violent world is more complicated than she ever believed. Cameron is forced to face the parts of himself he fears most, especially when protecting Emery means confronting the darkness inside him. Loyalties fracture, secrets become weapons, and the relationship that once saved them may be the same thing that ruins them.
