The war against the fairies is over.
That doesn't mean it's forgiven.
Humans won-but peace is fragile, unwanted, and built on centuries of blood. Most would rather finish what they started than learn to live beside the enemy.
So when a fairy is placed inside an elite human unit, it isn't seen as diplomacy.
It's seen as a mistake.
Nox has spent his life hunting creatures like her. Following orders is one thing-but fighting beside a fairy? Trusting one? It goes against everything he believes.
And Xena is no ordinary fairy.
She is quiet. Controlled. Unreadable.
And far more dangerous than anyone is willing to admit.
As missions grow deadlier and tensions inside the unit begin to fracture, Nox is forced into a reality he never wanted to face: the line between enemy and ally is thinner than he thought... and far easier to cross.
Because the closer they get to peace-
the more it begins to feel like something far worse is waiting on the other side.
