Shield of Winter

Nalini Singh

Book 13 of Psy-Changeling

Vasic is an Arrow — an elite Psy assassin trained to feel nothing — assigned to protect Ivy Jane, an empath whose rare gift may be the only thing that can save the Psy race from a spreading psychic contagion. As they're forced into close, constant contact, Ivy's warmth begins to thaw the walls Vasic has built around his emotions, even as outside threats close in on them both. Their growing bond becomes a test of whether a man built to be a weapon can allow himself to be loved. Set against the backdrop of the Psy-Changeling world's unraveling Silence Protocol, it's a story about redemption as much as romance.
