What if the job you took to stay alive might be what kills you?
Kade knows what it is to suffer. He knows what it's like to lose everything and everyone around him.
His job in a Stormer Unit guarantees not just his survival in the decimated country of Azetaria, but his sister Meg's. Even if it means facing the Numachi warriors baying for his blood, he'll do what it takes to keep her safe.
Hadley is alone and surviving the only way she knows how. By hiding where predators won't find her and scavenging enough just to keep her alive.
When desperation drives Hadley to search for her missing brother, she mistakenly accepts the offer of recruitment into the Stormer's camp, only to be partnered with Kade and sent as a scout into Numachi territory.
The intimidating young Stormer may just know where her brother has gone. But can they stay alive long enough to find him?
Kade’s footsteps were heavy as he approached and stared down at her. “This isn’t going to work. You need to be wearing something lighter, or we’ll never make it to Lazen.”
Hadley tried for a weak shrug but could barely muster the energy. “What do you suggest?”
Kade raised an eyebrow, and a deep frown appeared on his face as he considered her. He continued to stare at her as she sat, legs sprawled out on the ground. “The best I can come up with is cutting your clothing.”
His eyes narrowed as he searched the length of her. A bolt of alarm jostled her into thinking. “How much are you cutting off?”
Kade dipped his chin, his voice low as he spoke. “Enough, so you don’t keep fainting, enough, so you still pass for a boy.”
He reached for a knife and wore the slightest of smiles as he unsheathed it. “Let’s hope you have hairy legs then eh?”
Hadley’s lips split into a smile before she remembered she was annoyed with him for being so smug.
Hadley is a female in a man's world. Her brother has gone missing and she has no means to look after herself. She needs food but her job prospects are looking slim. Now she has to leave her home if she doesn’t want to become a rich man's plaything.
Kade is part of the Stormer unit. His job is to retrieve the unattainable. Mission impossible, but when he does actually get the desired results he still gets in trouble because he didn’t follow protocol. There is a new guy in camp and a new mission. It’s simple, cross enemy lines and bring back the princess. His partner is the new guy but he has secrets and an agenda of his own.
Hadley dresses as a guy and takes refuge at a local warrior camp. She tries to stay under the radar long enough to gain some meat on her bones. Unfortunately, she’s about to be sent on a mission with Kade.
This is a potential romance novel with adventure. The plot is entertaining, I liked the world built around the characters and the twist made it exciting. This is the first book in a series, Retrieve is the first adventure. I can’t wait for the next book.
I’m a Kindle Unlimited subscriber but I received an ARC. The next book is due out at the end of January so not long to wait. My review is honest and my own. I would definitely recommend this book. 5 out of 5.
