When Selene finds herself framed for murder and thrust into an unbreakable magical bond with Memnon—a vengeful ancient sorcerer who claims she betrayed him lifetimes ago—she thinks her life couldn't get more complicated. But as suppressed memories surface and dark truths emerge, Selene discovers that Memnon is actually her soul mate, and he's desperate to make amends for the harm he's caused her. Now bound together by magic that gives her complete control over his will, they must navigate a dangerous partnership against enemies threatening her magical academy—all while Memnon tries to win her heart, knowing that the moment she falls in love with him, their bond will shatter. This is a deliciously angst-filled paranormal romance where power dynamics shift in the most unexpected ways and the stakes are just as much about matters of the heart as they are about survival.
