Val Torvald has spent a decade keeping the Pacific Northwest safe from the magical beings that slip through the cracks between worlds. She’s fast, fierce, and one trigger pull away from being labeled a menace herself. But when her latest target—a child-killing wyvern—is claimed by a dragon representing a cosmic court of justice, Val finds herself standing toe-to-toe with a creature whose power eclipses everything she’s ever fought. Lord Zavrid isn’t just ancient and terrifying—he’s intelligent, commanding, and utterly impossible to ignore. As their worlds collide, Val is forced to question the rules that have defined her life. When a conspiracy threatens both human and magical realms, she may have to ally with the very dragon who vowed to destroy her. The line between enemy and something dangerously more is burning away—and even Val’s elven blood won’t save her heart from the fire.
