The newest novel in the New York Times bestselling Psy-Changeling series. Adria, wolf changeling soldier, has made a break with a past as unpredictable in love as it was in war. Now comes a devastating new complication: Riaz, a SnowDancer whose lone-wolf appeal is beyond sexual. It's primal. And it consumes them as completely as the impending cataclysmic Psy war.

Chapter 1

Riaz caught a flash of midnight hair and a long-legged stride and called out, “Indigo!” However, he realized his mistake the instant he turned the corner. “Adria.”

Eyes of deepest blue-violet met his, the frost in them threatening to give him hypothermia. “Indigo’s in her office.” The words were helpful, but the tone might as well have been a serrated blade.
