A sadist and a torture victim. A pacifist and a weaponry technician. A rebel lieutenant and the ruthless leader of the very empire the rebellion seeks to destroy. Love has a funny way of showing up between the most unlikely of pairs. At the same time, war has a funny way of following closely behind love, everywhere it goes...
That is, when it isn't busy following Verdeia Cruentus, the daughter of an infamous bounty hunter who's always dreamed of following in her father's footsteps and joining the Ratsae Order as a defender of her planet, Tholos. But ever since the rebellion wiped out said order, things have been...different.
Verdeia, now held prisoner by the very archer who murdered her father, must find the remaining members of the Order, learn to use her quickly developing sixth sense, and, most importantly, escape...
But what if she doesn't want to? What if she's learning to love her captor? What if the rebellion had a thing or two right to start with?
