In this romantasy from the New York Times-bestselling author, a man falls for his leader's fated, forbidden bride.

One moment, Docia Waverley is on her way to work, the next she is hurtling toward the chilly waters of the Hudson River. She wakes in the arms of a tall, blond, and muscular stranger who assures her it is his duty to protect her. Protect me from who, she wonders, hoping her knight in shining armor hasn't somehow abducted her from real life.

But that does nothing to lessen the forbidden desire that rises in him the moment he lays eyes on the vulnerable beauty. As he takes Docia under his wing, Ram struggles not to surrender to his growing passion for her. For if he does, he puts the survival of the Bodywalkers -- his people -- at stake...
