Y/n was supposed to die during her first year at Basgiath War College. Instead, she survived—only to find her life permanently, irrevocably tied to Xaden Riorson, the lethal third-year Wing Leader who has every reason to hate her. She is the daughter of the General who executed his father; he is the dangerous rebel leader she is supposed to avoid at all costs. But when a rare, intrusive telepathic bond forces them into the ultimate proximity, the boundaries between enemies and allies begin to dangerously blur. In a kingdom built on secrets and a school where weakness is a death sentence, they must fight to keep their distance—or risk burning everything they know to the ground.
