SOULS

True love is friendship dipped in honey. Only for Nalani, honey has proven to be a hurtful cover for stinging sharp glasses she's had to swallow.

In Dauntless, she has learned how to survive pain, how to stay standing, how to keep her past locked behind trained silence. She has learned how not to look back.

But some faces refuse to stay buried.

When someone she never truly escaped reappears in her life, old wounds reopen-and with them, everything she thought she had outgrown. Memories. Anger. Desire. Guilt. A connection that was never meant to survive what happened between them.

And then there is someone new.

Someone steady. Someone safe. Someone who does not look at her like a battlefield.

Caught between what once destroyed her and what might finally save her, Nalani is forced to face the one thing Dauntless never taught her how to fight:

her own heart.

Because some love stories don't begin with hope.

They begin with damage.
