I am SO glad I read this companion novella so close to reading the first in the Tensorate series. We meet back up with Mokoya after the death of her daughter and once she’s fled her husband, as she now hunts the dangerous naga. As she is on the hunt for a particularly massive target, she encounters another naga rider with the same target: Rider. Their chemistry is almost instant. As they unravel the secrets that threaten war within the Protectorate, she must learn to harness her abilities in new ways to protect the future of their world and the people she loves.
