A broken estate. A poisoned spring. A secret that changes the arithmetic of survival.

Kozan is a retired High Orc General who wanted nothing more than to tend his vines in peace. But the Black Iron is in ruins after the siege, and a mysterious violet slick is bleeding into the mountain's veins, turning the water to stone.

Maren is the Steward of the house, a woman once discarded by her village as a dry branch. She is the clinical mind tracking every sack of grain and every barrel of salt. She is the only one who knows how to distill a cure for the creeping rot, and the only one who can handle the soot-stained titan who owns the land.

The quiet recovery of the estate is shattered when fourteen desperate survivors arrive at the gate. Among them is the man who once called Maren barren and left her to die alone. Now, Kozan must decide if his stores can feed the very people who abandoned his mate.

As a familiar, poisoned hand is revealed behind the mountain's sickness, Maren realizes her own body is no longer a dry branch. She carries the Orc's blood heir, a humming warmth that Kozan will burn the world to protect.

In a valley filling with torches and a world turning to glass, can the Steward and her General hold the line?
