Wanted By the Orc Warchief
She volunteered to study their history. She never planned to become part of it.
Verity Dunmore is an archivist, not an adventurer.
Ink-stained, sleep-deprived, and dangerously curious.
When a diplomatic assignment grants her access to the Mountain Clan’s ancient archives, she volunteers immediately.
Not for the history. For the brother who vanished in a border skirmish and never came home.
She expects dust and resistance.
She doesn’t expect him.
Targesh Ironhide has been Warchief for nineteen years.
Scarred, silent, and sealed so tight even his own warriors can’t read him.
He does not explain himself. He does not repeat himself.
And he has no interest in one rumpled human scholar who asks questions she shouldn’t and forgets to eat.
Until she walks into his archives at midnight.
Until she looks at him the way she looks at everything she wants to understand.
Until he realizes he has never, in his entire life, wanted to be understood.
Verity came looking for answers about her brother.
What she finds is a man who calls her beautiful and means it like a vow.
But the truth she’s chasing could destroy the trust she’s building.
And the grief she’s been carrying for four years doesn’t come with a clean ending.
Some things can’t be found in the archives.
Some things you have to stand in the cold and feel.
