One girl’s mission. One boy’s curse. One hunted creature that could save them all—or destroy everything… When teenager Eva is captured by a group of Raiders, a perilous journey across the sea leaves her shipwrecked on a mysterious tropical island. Forced to ally with a rogue band of castaways, her mission isn’t just to survive, it’s to fulfill her sworn duty as a Guardian to ATOMICA, Earth’s most valuable—and most hunted—creature. Pursued by relentless Raiders, she places her trust in Kade, but his shadowy motives may be more dangerous than any enemy. Kade Thorn, a hunter bred to destroy all remnants of forbidden technology, battles opposing impulses. Marked by ancient symbols etched into his skin that incite violence, he’s torn between blindly obeying his directive or surrendering to a powerful attraction to Eva, knowing either choice could cost him his life. As enemies close in, Eva and Kade retreat deep into the jungle, where survival becomes a test of loyalty. Will they uphold their sworn duties, or risk everything to forge a new destiny together? ATOMICA’s fate—and humanity’s future—hang in the balance. The line between hero and villain blurs in this slow-burn Romantasy by the bestselling author of SERENADE. For fans of Adrienne Young’s FABLE and Kass Morgan’s THE 100, ATOMICA-BETWEEN SEA AND SKY is epic and unputdownable.
