Price: £20
A conscripted soldier. His unfathomable captor. Their only hope lies in each other’s hands.
Don’t make waves. Don’t get attached. Don’t let anyone see the tattoos.
Those rules have kept Tory Arknett alive, alone, and on the run for years in a country eager to put his healing hands to work on the front lines of a brutal war. When a desperate display of magic outs him to the authorities, Tory flees – right into the hands of cold and competent Sena Vantaras. Caged in a cruel training facility and implanted with a magical tracker, Tory needs to get out before he gets dead.
There’s just one thing he has to do: make Sena pay.
But Sena is already paying more than Tory knows, and when a mission strands them in enemy territory, they must cooperate to survive. As they learn the truth about each other and the myth behind the magic that connects them, Tory and Sena find belonging together.
Their trackers will kill them in three days if they don’t return. Soon, Tory and Sena face a desperate decision: their freedom, or their lives?

**PRAISE FOR CAGE OF STARLIGHT**
A gorgeously poignant story that glows with lush prose, characters you can't help but fall in love with, and a stellar found family, Cage of Starlight will break your heart and tenderly put it back together. I adored this book and can't wait to see what Jules Arbeaux writes next!
Equal parts tender and brutal, Cage of Starlight is an epic love story that's fresh and devastating, with characters that sneak their way into your heart: Tory is a prickly puppy of a man, and Sena is the beautiful, hyper-competent soldier tracking him down. Arbeaux has crafted a moving tale about a world where falling in love is dangerous, and loving your enemy is nothing short of revolutionary
Jules Arbeaux weaves an emotional tale of persevering hope against all odds in Cage of Starlight. Sena and Tory are instantly iconic characters who I would die for
