When an ambitious Maman sets her sights on a warrior, no price is too high to claim what she wants—even if it means destroying him.
Petre-De, a brilliant engineer and Verit warrior, has spent his life serving his clan with honor. But when the Maman Bylelle decides he will be her mate, shell stop at nothing to possess him.
Rowen came to Dalat seeking adventure and the chance to build something remarkable. The fiery Rowen never expected to find herself drawn to the stoic, silver-haired warrior who keeps pushing her away despite the obvious attraction between them.
As Petre struggles against Bylelles increasingly dangerous manipulations, he finds himself falling for the one female he cannot have. Claiming Rowen would place her directly in Bylelles crosshairs. But when their passion can no longer be denied, Petre must find a way to protect everyone he loves from a Mamans obsession—or risk losing everything to the fires of vengeance.
