About this audiobook
Linnet Hartley built a quiet life around never feeling too much. Her gift, an unwilled empathy for every hurting creature she meets, cost her mother everything, and she's spent six years making sure it never costs her the same.
Then a half-feathered, terrified boy arrives at her aunt's sanctuary, carrying more grief than any child should bear alone. The man who saved him carries his own: eleven years spent atoning for an order he refused, a debt he was never quick enough to fully repay.
As her walls come down around a boy who trusts her completely, Silas's own brother gathers the remnants of a shattered hunting lodge, determined to prove the sanctuary is exactly the danger he always claimed. Rescue, reckoning, and a found family fierce enough to fight for each other: Linnet and Silas must decide what they're willing to risk for a love neither expected to survive long enough to want.
A slow-burn, found-family romance about the courage it takes to stop hiding what makes you different.
