In the storm-ravaged coastal settlement of Ebonpeak, lightning scars the land and raiders rule the seas. Six years after Desolation Day stole everything she loved, Samara has forged herself into a weapon—scarred, unbreakable, and consumed by the need for vengeance.
When enemy ships breach their shores, Samara discovers that her greatest threats don’t come from the churning seas. Rafael, the enigmatic raider, weaves lies as skillfully as he wields a blade. And Erik has been her tormentor for years, but his hatred may not be what it seems.
As buried secrets surface and loyalties shift, Samara must choose between the revenge that’s sustained her and a terrifying future tied too closely to her past. But in a world where trust is deadly and love is a luxury few survive, some scars run too deep to heal, and to Samara’s surprise, some enemies are worth saving.
This gripping tale of survival, redemption, and fierce love continues the soul-stirring Forgotten Lands series, where hope blooms in the harshest storms.
