Death was only the beginning.

When Saiya Wildthorn awakens after death, she is conscripted into the Riftguards, soldiers reborn to hold back the monsters pouring through rifts in the fabric of the world. Within the black walls of Vaerngard, the Reborn are trained to become weapons, not people. Survival demands obedience. Hesitation is fatal. Attachment is dangerous.

But as ancient magic begins to stir and Riftguards start to vanish, Saiya uncovers fractures beneath the fortress’s unbreakable image. Secrets coil through the ranks. The Council watches too closely. And her commander, Corin Dravehall, feared, brilliant, and brutally controlled, is not the cold weapon the world believes him to be.

Drawn together by shared shadows and truths neither can speak aloud, Saiya and Corin form a bond that could cost them everything. In a system built to erase choice, trust becomes rebellion. Desire becomes a liability. And love may be the most dangerous magic of all.

As the Rifts widen and darkness stirs beyond the Veil, Saiya must decide whether to remain the soldier they shaped… or become the one who burns their lies to the ground.

A story of resurrection, elemental warfare, and slow-burn forbidden romance, Riftguard is an emotionally charged fantasy about power, sacrifice, and what it means to choose yourself in a world determined to own you.

Recommended for readers 18+ (violence and adult intimacy).
