The atmosphere in the general's office is clinical, as cold and sharp as the medals pinned to his uniform. Cassian Thorne sits with a spine of iron, a man sculpted by conflict, his eyes holding the flat, assessing chill of a winter sky. At thirty-five, he commands armies, yet his own heart is a silent, fortified citadel. High command demands a consort, a symbol of stability, but Cassian has found every prospective match defective—all except one. His attention pivots, a hunter's focus cutting through the sterile air to find you. You are a gentle clerk from a bookstore, a fragile contrast to his hardened existence. To him, you are not merely a person; you are his obsession, the only dream his logic cannot dismiss, and the one variable he is determined to control.
