The Shadow General's Hostage

She came into his camp as a prisoner. She left as something far more dangerous. Eira is the best scout in the resistance — silent, precise, and trained to disappear. When she is captured by General Daric Vane's forces and brought before the man her people call the Shadow General, she expects a cell. What she gets is a tent, warm meals, and a man who watches her like she is a problem he cannot solve and does not want to. Daric Vane has won every battle he has fought. He does not make exceptions. He does not form attachments. He has built his reputation on being unreadable, and he has kept every person at the exact distance required to stay that way. Eira does not stay at a distance. Sharp, stubborn, and refusing to be invisible, she navigates his camp, his court, and the carefully constructed walls around him — and Daric begins to wonder if the most dangerous thing he has ever brought into his camp is not the scout, but what she makes him want. The Shadow General's Hostage is a slow-burn dark fantasy romance featuring a captive scout, a brooding enemy general, forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a love story built in the space between capture and surrender.
