For fifteen years, I've served in humanity's war against the Elves. Now they want me to learn their language.

As Earth's first military interpreter for Elven prisoners, I thought my biggest challenge would be dealing with my uncooperative charge—an arrogant elf who refuses to even give his name. But as I delve deeper into his world, I uncover darker truths: exploitation in the prison system, corruption in the military ranks, and secrets that could shatter everything we thought we knew about this war.

The more I learn, the more I question everything—my orders, my loyalties, even my own understanding of magic itself. With peace talks hanging by a thread and powerful forces moving against us, I'm forced to make an impossible choice between duty and justice. And my growing feelings for my prisoner are only making things more complicated.

In a world where magic and military might collide, sometimes the greatest act of loyalty is knowing when to break the rules.

A gritty military fantasy featuring slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, magical conspiracies, and a heroine caught between duty and justice. Perfect for fans of Martha Wells and Ilona Andrews who love their fantasy with both heart and teeth.
