Steelborn (Deluxe Limited Edition) (The Steelborn Saga, 1)

Reya Connery, known to the underworld of Rhiterra as the Crimson Dagger, lives by a rigid code of survival: trust no one and leave no witnesses. When a high-stakes heist goes disastrously wrong, she finds herself shackled to a debt she cannot pay and a secret that could destroy her. Her only path to salvation lies in an unlikely partnership with Caelan Halcyon, an immortal warrior whose very existence is tethered to a lethal, encroaching curse.

Caelan is a man of honor who views Reya’s chaotic, thieving lifestyle with disdain, yet he recognizes that her legendary ability to steal the impossible is his final hope for a cure. Forced into a dangerous alliance, the two traverse the edge of a world where magic is outlawed and tyrants rule with an iron fist. As they hunt for a solution to Caelan’s plight, the tension between them shifts from mutual hostility to a volatile, slow-burning attraction.

Caught between personal vendettas and a brewing revolution, Reya must reconcile her buried rage with the realization that some secrets are too heavy to carry alone. In a race against time, they discover that the cure they seek may be far more treacherous than the curse itself.
