LET NOTHING HOLD YOU BACK.
A companion novel to the Sleeping Lotus series.

Loren Stone wasn't always a powerful general. Once, he was simply a victim.

And Lassyne True wasn't always the Thorns' most hated spy. Once, she was the heir to a duchy and a fortune... and the favorite target of a murderous lunatic.

They have so much in common. They've both been kept in a cage. Lassyne knows this, because she was there. As a child, she saw what happened to Loren... and for ten years of her life, she has watched him from afar, obsessing over a future that they'll never have. But when her parents finally put Lassyne on the market—and her jealous brother makes his ultimate move—Lassyne gets the chance of a lifetime.

She can run.

She can save him.

But not every broken thing can be saved....
