If I save him . . . maybe he'll save me.
After finding my apartment ransacked for the third time, I'm done being stalked. I'm just some nameless orphan who's only trying to survive in this broken city. I shouldn't matter. I shouldn't be a target. I shouldn't have to live on the run. But here I am, trying to find a hideout when living beyond the city without a permit is punishable by death. I'm desperate. But I'm scrappy too, and soon I'm surviving off the land with only the rodents for company.
Everything's fine. Until he shows up. Injured and distrustful, he needs to hide too. But this space is mine, and I'll fight for it. Except in his wounded delirium, this stranger calls my name with a familiarity that makes my heart pound.
When our sanctuary is invaded, I learn I'm not just hiding from a stalker, but it turns out I'm the center of a family war and the battle for a planet. And the only thing standing between me and the monsters who want me dead is the stranger on my doorstep . . . and he's got wings.
