About this book

A legendary Fey King emerges from a thousand years of self-imposed exile when an ancient darkness threatens his world—and discovers in a mysterious woodcarver's daughter a soul connection that ignites the passion he thought lost forever. Rain Tairen Soul is utterly captivated by Ellysetta, whose very presence awakens the wild magic and fierce love he'd locked away after devastating grief, and she becomes his anchor as danger closes in from all sides. As alliances crumble and an old evil rises to reclaim the world, Rain must convince Ellysetta to accept the fated bond between them—one that could either save everything or doom them both. This is an epic, sweeping romance that perfectly blends high-stakes fantasy adventure with the kind of consuming, soul-deep love story that'll make your heart race.

Spotify

Ethereal and haunting, with sweeping orchestral moments and sensual indie folk. Think atmospheric magic, ancient longing, and rekindled passion. Artists like Enya, The Decemberists, and Hozier meet lush, romantic soundscapes with building intensity.
