Six strangers. One soul-bound Ring. No way out.



Isara Virelle has spent her entire life avoiding people. Unfortunately, becoming Eshani means binding your soul to five of them.



When the Binding Ceremony assigns her to Ring Six—the most elite fighting unit in Veryuun—Isa is forced into the last place she wants to be: surrounded by strangers who can hear her thoughts, feel her emotions, and know her secrets. Worst of all, their commander is Niko Veyshar.



Feared across the continent as Rathvenorn's deadliest weapon, Niko is everything Isa has been taught to hate. Cold. Dangerous. Untouchable. And now they're bound together.



As political tensions rise between nations and whispers of forgotten gods begin to spread, cracks appear within Ring Six. Ancient powers stir beneath the surface, forbidden magic awakens in Isa's blood, and the bond tying her to her team may be unraveling before it has a chance to hold.



To survive, Isa must learn who she can trust. Because in Veryuun, loyalty is sacred. And betrayal can cost far more than your life.



Contains mature themes.
