Cianne is Tristan's world and protecting the woman he loves is his life's mission, even before finding out she imprinted on him and discovering the new abilities he now wields. But being the Protector and lover of the prophesized savior of a clandestine race of supernaturals, the Coesen, comes with new complications. That she carries his child makes their situation that much dire. According to Coesen law, a Protector and the protected can't be romantically linked. While Tristan delves into his new "possibly temporary" role of training to be a worthy Protector and competing in dangerous tournaments, Cianne wants no part of her birthright, destiny, or the ridiculous laws that comes with it. But what they want doesn't matter when evil comes to town. And this evil has one obsession, Cianne. Will Tristan be able to keep Cianne and their unborn child safe as well as his role as her Protector. Or will Cianne's fear of being the death of the man she loves come true?
