When a creature that consumes the air threatens her village, winged courier Ainara seeks help at court—and finds Kyrel, the childhood friend she hasn’t seen in eleven years.

Now a formidable Peacock Knight, he secures the assignment to escort her home. His determination to protect her meets her equally stubborn insistence on fighting beside him.

As their search for answers leads toward the mountain’s celestial border, familiar teasing gives way to lingering touches. Facing the danger will take trust, but admitting what they want from each other may take even more courage.
