Thea has been haunted by dreams of a mysterious golden-eyed man, and when fate thrusts her back into a dangerous world she thought she'd left behind, she discovers he's very real—and everything she's been missing. Cassius ignites something primal within her, but their connection comes with impossible stakes: a prophecy she can't escape, a curse she can't break, and secrets that could topple kingdoms. As Thea grapples with her newfound power and the terrifying truths lurking beneath the surface, she must decide whether to surrender to destiny or fight for a future she never thought possible. It's a lush, sweeping fantasy romance that will leave you desperate to know what happens next.
