Written by Madelaine Salvage. Suitable for adult readers.
When mild-mannered mage Maela is tasked with studying the Echohedron - a dangerous, ancient relic said to hold the key to reshaping society - she believes her work may help bring enlightenment and peace to the theocratic world ruled by the Synod of Oneirion. But in the shadows, the Crimson Assembly plots to seize the relic for themselves, aiming to topple the Synod and wield its volatile power.
They dispatch a deadly assassin who uses forbidden dream-magic to infiltrate Maela's mind, find the relic, learn everything Maela has uncovered about it, and then end her life.
Yet inside the dreamscape, nothing goes as planned.
As the assassin hunts her through shifting realities, a dangerous, magnetic bond forms between them - one charged with power, obsession and undeniable heat. Caught between duty and desire, Maela must decide if she can trust the man sent to kill her...or if surrendering to him will doom them both.
