Years of running from the consequences catch up with her when Haden discovers the devastating truth behind her sacrifice, and suddenly Della must face the one question that terrifies her most: can he forgive her for the lengths she went to keep him alive? This is a sweeping tale of love tested by fate itself, where the line between devotion and destruction blurs, and second chances come wrapped in thorns.
