Kai Azer is now Ilyas Enforcer, loyal to his brother Kitt, the new King. He has vowed to find Paedyn and bring her to justice. Across the deadly Scorches, and deep into the hostile city of Dor, Kai pursues the one person he wishes he didnt have to. But in a city without Elites, the balance between the hunter and hunted shifts--and the battle between duty and desire is deadly."--
