They have put themselves in the line of duty time and again… but will their hearts lead them in the line of rebellion?

This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster I was not prepared for!
Karina is exactly the kind of protagonist I love, fierce, clever, a little stubborn, and constantly torn between survival and doing what’s right. She’s carrying all this fire inside her, but the world around her forces her to stay small… until she just can’t anymore. The moment she crosses paths with Avyer, everything shifts. Their first fight had me clutching the pages, and their uneasy truce had me grinning because you just know it’s going to complicate everything.
And Avyer… whew! I love when a character is so sure of the world, so loyal to the rules, and then someone walks in and flips their whole moral compass upside down. Watching him wrestle with duty vs. what he actually feels was so satisfying.
The plot keeps moving, there’s no lull here. Every time you think you can breathe, something else blows up (sometimes literally). By the time the dangerous assignment came around, I was fully yelling at the book, like “NOPE, DO NOT SEPARATE THEM RIGHT NOW.”
And the romance? Oh, the romance. It’s that kind of slow-burn, forbidden, “we shouldn’t but we can’t stop orbiting each other” energy that makes you forget you were supposed to be sleeping three chapters ago.
