Adria, daughter of a feared pirate captain, has spent centuries longing for the simplest thing: to touch another person without pain. When the Sea Witch offers her a chance to break the curse, Adria accepts a dangerous bargain. Steal the legendary Sun Stone from the Ice Dragons and their Moon Fae allies.

Belian, known as Lian, is a hybrid prince caught between his Moon Fae heritage and human blood. Duty binds him to protect the Sun Stone, but when he catches Adria in the middle of her heist, neither expects a cave-in to trap them together inside the mountain.

Forced proximity turns enemies into reluctant allies, and simmering attraction becomes impossible to ignore. Adria is reckless, touch-starved, and determined to reclaim her freedom. Lian has spent his life fulfilling everyone else’s expectations, but the pirate offers something he has never allowed himself to want: adventure, desire, and a future of his own choosing.

Their escape is only the beginning. When Lian is taken prisoner and the Sea Witch’s bargain demands its price, Adria must risk everything to save the prince who has become far more than her enemy.

Contains mature themes, explicit sexual content, and the emotional weight of fantasy love stories where scars run deep and happily ever afters are earned.
