Kaeldar is a fierce rock giant who will die to regain the land that was stolen by the Arcaernian humans. After he is struck down in battle and lies on the brink of death, his only hope is the mercy of a human healer - but can he trust her to keep him safe from human soldiers? As Kaeldar struggles in and out of conscious, he knows he must escape, for the next time he wakes up might be his last.

Considered a witch by her own people, Claira has long been an outcast. As a healer, though, she can't stand to see anyone suffer, even a rock giant who lies gravely wounded on the battlefield near her village. Against her better judgment, she finds herself caring for this dangerous, and downright handsome, enemy warrior. Will Claira be able to heal him before her secret is discovered? Or will the villagers realize what she's done and kill them both?
