Bound by vengeance, torn by love, he must choose his fate.

Aila has found a new family among the lost and broken, protecting them with everything she has. But when she meets Lachlan—a dark, vengeful Highlander in the ruins of his shattered clan—her heart stirs with a longing she thought was long buried.

After years of captivity, Lachlan has returned to his desolate castle, his soul blackened by betrayal and the thirst for vengeance. But Aila’s fierce spirit cuts through his darkness like a blade, forcing him to confront the war inside him.

With both legacy and revenge within his grasp, he must decide; cling to the hatred that has sustained him or risk everything for the hope of love?
