In the heart of the majestic Oregon wilderness, danger lurks in the shadows, and one train derailment will ignite a bond that defies every law of magic and shifter kind.
Aria, an exiled Fae healer quietly hiding in a wildlife sanctuary, feels the forest itself tear open the night a freight car slams into the cliffs. When she finds a dying lion shifter inside the wreckage, the ancient magic she’s tried to hide surges to life.
Kian has lost his pride and everything he once called home. Captured and renamed Ashes, he never expected to wake in the arms of a woman whose scent feels like home and second chances. But the hunters who want their cargo back are closing in, and the iron poisoning his blood is slowly killing the only person whose touch can heal him.
As mercenaries close in on the sanctuary and the forest turns restless under the threat, Aria’s magic begins to unravel… wild, powerful, and impossible to hide. With danger tightening around them and time running out, Aria and Kian must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice… for each other, for the ones they protect, and to save a love powerful enough to burn every cage to ashes.
Because some cages aren’t meant to hold. And some loves are meant to burn.
