   Summary

   He wakes in the Rift with no past—only a name, a purpose he never chose, and an Arisen who makes his heart betray him before he can understand why.
   Anders doesn’t question the pull toward her—he barely dares to resist it.
   But when fate shoves them into a cycle of dragons, stolen hearts, and impossible choices, he’ll have to decide what he is: weapon, witness… or something fiercely his own.
