Amyas just wants to be free—free to make his own decisions, not to be forced to marry a human or to have a soul. He's an undine, though, and neither his parents nor his tribe leader listen to him.
Mordred has one goal in life—to make things difficult for the conclave. He left them two hundred years ago, and in that time, he's helped as many supernatural beings as possible. It's not enough to make up for all the ones he killed, though.
When a rogue hero is captured after trying to help the tribe, Amyas knows he has a choice. He can sit back and let everyone else make decisions just like always, or he can take this chance to change his life. It means he'll have to trust the hero, which isn't easy.
But nothing worth having is easy, and this is Amyas's chance to finally take his life into his own hands and live it like he wants. He never expected it would include a hero or that he would fall in love with Mordred. The conclave is hunting the rogue heroes, though, and Amyas's tribe wants him back.
Will he be able to hold on to the happiness he so desperately yearned for? Or will he lose everything, including his first love?
