BLAIR

They took me because of him.

They hurt me because of him.

And still, the moment Alexander tore the world apart to drag me back into his arms, something in me cracked open instead of closing.

Ruins aren’t meant to burn this hot.

Not with fear.

Not with longing.

Not with the reckless, infuriating pull I feel every time he stands too close.

Now I’m deeper in his world than ever—his enemies want my blood, his family wants me gone, and the shadows of our past won’t stop hunting us.

But ruin has a language of its own.

And I’m learning how to speak it.

ALEXANDER

I should have killed the men who touched her.

Instead, I destroyed everything they owned and left them alive just long enough to watch me take back what’s mine.

Blair isn’t fragile.

She isn’t meek.

She is fury wrapped in soft skin, a storm that refuses to bend even after she’s been shattered.

She thinks the ruin between us is something to fear.

She doesn’t understand—ruin is where I thrive.

Where she and I are carved into something sharpened, ruthless, inevitable.

If war is what it takes to keep her,

then war is exactly what I’ll bring.
