Kaj's life is hell. Having sold himself as a bed slave to a cruel master from the Kingdom of Earth in order to survive when orphaned and left to the streets, his everyday has become nothing but pain and humiliation. Each day that goes by numbs him further, leaving him fearful that nothing can save him from depression and despair. After all, if there's one thing a slave learns fast, it's that hope is too painful to hold.

Zephyr is a man of duty, the personal body guard to Princess Brisa of the Realm of Wind. His life revolves around his work, no family or partner to distract him. Having never felt attraction to another person, everyone calls him "broken," though he's also applauded for being the perfect worker. But things rapidly change when fate takes him from the familiarity of home to somewhere new.

Suddenly, Zephyr finds himself feeling things he's never felt before when he meets the beautiful and enigmatic Kaj. Unsure what to make of those feelings or how to handle the aggressively defensive and frightened Kaj, Zephyr struggles to walk the line between duty and honor. Meanwhile, Kaj must fight for more courage...and trust...than he's felt most of his life. Can Zephyr learn to understand his feelings and identity while also protecting everyone he cares for? Can Kaj defy his master to do the right thing and heal from deep, indelible scars?

Can earth and wind come together, or will all be lost like dust in a gale?
