Forbidden Fruits (смешанная)

When Cullen Rutherford was a boy, he failed to protect his little sister Rosalie from being abducted by a maleficar. It is a failure that carved itself into bone, shaping the man he would become: the Templar, the Commander who has only ever known duty and guilt.
Then the Conclave burned, and Amara Trevelyan walked out of the Fade.
Friendship blossoms between them, then deepens into something quieter and more vulnerable, until, almost without noticing, he loves her.
Those feelings are new. Those feelings are terrifying. For they could herald the return of the boy he once was, the one who still believed in kindness, in peace, in something beyond suffering.
But the past does not stay buried forever. The Fade does not give without taking. And when the truth of Amara's childhood unravels, Cullen is forced to face the impossible:
The woman he loves is not who she believes herself to be.
And the sister he lost… may not be lost at all.
