​In a desolate realm where the earth is paved with the white remains of the fallen and the air hums with the memory of war, life is the cheapest currency. Elvis, a young man sold into servitude by his own parents to ensure their survival, is cast into the brutal heart of Xandros-the fortress-city of the undying Warlord. ​Elvis is a ghost in a machine of bone, a slave meant to toil until his own ribs join the pavement. But fate intervenes in the form of Ariel, the fierce and sheltered daughter of the High Sovereign Xandros himself. Amidst the scorched ruins and the constant thrum of impending destruction, an impossible spark ignites between the captive and the crown. ​As a brewing rebellion threatens to tear the fortress apart, their secret bond becomes a target. Elvis seeks a revenge that has been simmering since his betrayal, while Ariel is caught in a suffocating vice: her heart belongs to a man her father would see executed, but her blood demands she protect her father's crumbling honor. In a world defined by death, they must decide if love is a path to a new beginning-or just a swifter way to the grave.

Now, she is a quiet florist in a sleepy mountain town, fiercely guarding her five-year-old son, Leo—a boy with the unmistakable storm-grey eyes and stubborn chin of the man who broke her heart. But peace is a luxury an outlaw's daughter can't keep. When the roar of customized Harleys shatters her quiet life, Scarlett finds herself cornered by the two men she never wanted to see again: Jaxson, the club’s new, ruthlessly possessive President and the father of her child, and Ryder, the silent, guilt-ridden enforcer who spent years tracking her down.
