But as both of their pasts catch up to them, the must now fight for their freedom and for each other.http://www.yearofacheron.com/league_series/born_of_ice.html The book begins with Devyn serving as a field doctor during a campaign against rebels. During the skirmish he discovers a child, Omari, who had been hideously injured and crippled by explosives that killed his family. When he tries to help, his commanding officer commands him to abandon Omari and help their own soldiers (who are lightly wounded). When Devyn refuses and is threatened at gun point he disarms his commander and kills or cripples every soldier in his unit. Then he supposedly goes to Nykyrian, who uses his influence to call off the bounty on Devyn's head. Years later, Alix has been recruited by Merjack under the threat of her sister being sold as a sex slave to find evidence of crimes by Devyn. She is given the job when she approaches Devyn and his crew after their usual engineer has been arrested. She slowly gains the trust of the crew, but is nearly revealed when a gang-including a former member of her father's crew tries to rape her. Devyn saves her, and later they have sex when Alix tries to do what she thinks is payment for him saving her. Devyn is shocked at her lack of knowledge of sex and how she thinks that she is required to sleep with him, but begins to show Alix how to embrace her freedom. Over the course of the novel Alix is revealed by Devyn's father, Syn, and is forced to confess to Devyn. Despite thoughts of killing her—along with demands from his mother Shahara to do so he spares her and agrees to help her bring Merjack down. They arrange for to meet her contact, who is revealed later to be Devyn's older half brother and Syn's first son: Lieutenant Paden Whelms, who was turned against Syn by his hateful mother after she discovered that Syn was really Sheridan Wade. Whelms then reveals that Merjack never intended to free Alix or her family, and signals soldiers to recapture her—assuring that she will never be able to buy her own freedom legally. Devyn saves her once again and they go on the run, removing her tracking chip before crashing on a planet. While fleeing, Devyn and Alix are saved by a bitter Paden, who had intended to use Alix's forged evidence against Merjack to prove his corruption. Devyn manages to persuade Paden to take Alix to safety-thought not without threatening and striking him. While they escape, Devyn turns himself in and is transported to Merjack to be tortured and killed. However the group manages to meet up with Syn, Shahara, Caillen (Shahara's smuggler brother), League Assassins Darion and Jace, Darling Cruel and Nykyrian to rescue Devyn. They manage to have Merjack arrested in the middle of the torture session, but Merjack breaks free and tries to kill Syn. Paden, in a moment of repentance, takes the shot for his father and apologizes for how he allowed his mother to turn him against his father—even offering to give his organs to help a recovering Devyn. In the end Devyn recovers, and Alix is reunited with her family after they are freed by several of Syn's friends. A year later Alix is revealed to be pregnant with Devyn's child.''Born of Shadows''
