Bound by Blood Ink

His needle slips—and Kael Thorne’s command mark snaps beneath his hand. The blood-ink soldier awakens in a killing frenzy, and Cyrus Vale has seconds to stop her before she tears him apart. Cyrus is the only one who can repair the broken tattoos, so the deserter tattoo-forger is forced to stay at the side of the woman who could execute him—or slaughter everyone around her. Every repair demands his touch, but every battle drains Kael’s memories, drawing them closer even as she forgets who she is. Hunted by the military and monsters, they must escort a convoy of war orphans to the border while Cyrus confronts the comrades he abandoned. When Kael raises her blood-soaked blade and no longer recognizes him, will Cyrus run again—or risk everything to save the weapon he taught to feel?
