She cannot afford to feel anything. He makes that impossible.

n

For centuries, Isla has protected the Oathstones—ancient relics whose power could trigger a catastrophic shift in the balance of the world. She accepted immortality to safeguard humanity and has kept her emotions tightly contained, believing that discipline is the only way to remain focused on her task.

n

That control shatters when an attack destroys her sanctuary and forces her into the open.

n

On the run from forces determined to seize the Oathstones, Isla crosses paths with Shane Mason, a rogue archaeologist tracing a pattern of relics, buried history, and recurring dreams that point directly to the truth she has spent lifetimes guarding.

n

Shane’s discoveries are drawing the attention of Viktor LaSalle—a billionaire entrepreneur willing to tear the world apart to manufacture immortality. Every step he takes pushes civilization closer to a power shift that cannot be undone.

n

Isla must not lose focus as she navigates rising danger, hidden truths, and a connection she never intended to feel—one that could be her greatest strength, or the most dangerous distraction of her immortal life.

n

A high-stakes mythic slow-burn romantic fantasy about duty, longing, and the cost of protecting a world on the brink.

n

Perfect for readers who love Deborah Harkness, Susanna Kearsley, Amy Harmon, and Juliet Marillier.

n

A complete short novel to devour in a weekend.
