The final book for Alateeka Protection Services

Who could ever love a man with a heart of stone?

It's a question Troy Alateeka has asked himself many times in recent years, but when the reality of his creation is revealed in the cruelest way possible, he struggles to find his balance in a world suddenly changed.

Galen Holmes gave up everything to save his pack. He serves the goddess willingly, grateful for her help when he'd needed it the most. He won't forget what she did, no matter how many awful things he's seen since.

When a strange creature attacks, Galen is willing to die to protect the goddess. He doesn't expect compassion or mercy from his enemy, but somehow he gets both. When his eyes are finally opened to his goddess's deceit, can Galen see past his own pain to truly see the stranger who saves him?

As questions are finally answered and truths revealed, can Troy and Galen help each other find their footing in a strange and unexpected new world? Or will the confusion they both feel blind them to all other possibilities?
