Reckless

The kingdom of Ilya is fracturing.

After defying the odds and surviving the Purging Trials, Paedyn Gray has done the unthinkable: she’s killed the King and ignited a flame of resistance that threatens to consume the entire land. But the cost of her revolution is a heavy heart, as she finds herself fleeing from the only person she ever truly trusted.

Kai Azer has traded his freedom for the role of Ilya’s Enforcer, bound by blood and loyalty to his brother, Kitt, the newly crowned King. Tasked with a singular, agonizing mission, Kai has vowed to track Paedyn down and bring her to justice for her crimes against the crown.

Their chase leads them across the lethal, sun-baked Scorches and into the heart of Dor, a city where the rules of Ilya no longer apply. In a place where Elites have no standing, the power dynamic between the hunter and the hunted begins to blur, and the line between cold duty and burning desire becomes a razor's edge. As the shadows of their pasts catch up to them, Kai and Paedyn must decide if they are enemies by fate or allies by choice, before the kingdom's turmoil destroys them both.
