Guilt is her prison. Duty is his chain. Together, they must break free—or be buried by the past.

Faced with guilt that consumes her, Thea channels her exile from Heaven into ancient tombs and unsolved mysteries. When her best friend begins losing her feathers—and with them, her shot at redemption—Thea races to uncover the truth before time runs out.

In the shadowed jungles of Honduras, Centurion Ma’lak has one job: guard the tomb that holds the key to his dragon shifter clan’s survival. But the dragon Illusion cloaking its entrance won’t yield to brute force. Then Thea storms his excavation site with too many questions and not nearly enough fear.

He has secrets to protect. She has sins she can’t forgive.

But the pull between them is undeniable, and the Codex buried in the tomb may hold more than salvation—it could bind their fates forever.

To save a soul, protect a people, and unravel a centuries-old puzzle, Thea and Ma’lak must face the ghosts that haunt them… or risk losing everything, even each other.
