Ranger

Age gap. Reverse grumpy/sunshine. Best friend's sister. After a miserable childhood, Lark has finally found the family he always wanted. There isn't much he wouldn't do for his new liege, including undertaking a secret and dangerous mission to save the most hated creatures in their society, the chades. He only wishes his partner wasn't a lethal, stoic ranger with a mouth he yearned to make smile. Ivy is a ranger. She is judge, jury, and executioner to any who break the strict laws of their society. So how has she become the trusted operative of a legitimate goddess who wants her to save the chades instead of beheading them? To make matters worse, she is partnered with a fresh-faced earth paladin with green eyes, a body that won't quit, and a perky attitude in direct opposition to her hostile one.
