She wanted to trust him. Wanted to believe him. But how could she when all signs pointed to betrayal?

A pariah in a world of humans, twenty-three year old half-elf Mira Faye constantly found herself in a struggle to tame a power that longed to consume her, while fighting to hide her true identity amongst the people who hate her most. For over a decade, she partnered with her closest friends, Laurent and Ivory, raiding abandoned elven ruins in search of artifacts for a living.

It was simple.

Ivory handled the inquiries and transactions, while Mira and Laurent did the grunt work. Mutual understanding created a peaceful partnership-even if Ivory claimed Laurent before Mira could confess her feelings to him.

When a dangerous inquiry ends in Laurent being captured by a sadistic prince, Mira is forced to work alongside a rival raider to find the artifact first to negotiate his release. Can she partner with someone who has previously attempted to take her life, or will it be the beginning of her undoing?
