Kasten Baelor is one of the Night Prowlers’ best hunters: feared, efficient, and trusted with the jobs no one else can finish. He does not ask questions after handover. He does not get attached. And he never stays past dawn.

So when his master orders him to track down Reve Gelthar, a lethal assassin wanted alive by the Crimson Veil, Kasten expects a difficult contract and a long road. What he does not expect is the man himself: sharp-tongued, infuriatingly beautiful, and far too willing to look Kasten in the eye like he already knows exactly what he wants.

Reve should be cargo.

Instead, weeks of forced proximity, violence, and relentless desire begin to strip Kasten down to the truth. Because the deeper they travel, the clearer it becomes that this contract was never just a recovery. It is tied to something far uglier: hidden ledgers, vanished people, and a trade Kasten never agreed to serve.

Now the hunter is questioning the den that made him.

And the man he was meant to deliver is becoming the only one he trusts at his side.

To stop the rot at the heart of the Night Prowlers, Kasten will have to return home, turn on the master who sharpened him into a weapon, and decide whether he is willing to destroy everything he has ever known for the man he was never supposed to keep.
