Bound by Blood Ink

One wrong stroke, and the war ink under her skin **cracked**. Now the living weapon I was supposed to help disappear is hunting me—because I'm the only one who can fix what I broke. Kael Thorne's body is a map of blood-ink tattoos that turn her into an imperial killing machine, and I just severed her command chain. Every time she fights to protect the convoy of war orphans we're trapped with, she loses another piece of herself. Every time I touch her skin to repair the damage, I feel her pull me closer—even though she can't remember why she should trust me, or why I ran from the last people who needed me. She'll forget her own name before we reach the border, or she'll lose control and slaughter everyone in her path—unless I finish what I started and face the man I used to be.
