Cora's world is splintering, and the reason is finally beginning to surface. Something dark is moving beneath the fabric of her life, and a mysterious man has appeared in the middle of it all, protecting her and fighting beside her when no one else will.

Nolan has been assigned to guard her soul, but this mission is unlike any other. Cora isn't simply fragile or lost. Her presence calls to something buried within him, something sacred and forgotten. Each moment in her orbit threatens to undo the control he has fought to maintain across lifetimes.

But he cannot surrender to the desire building between them. If he crosses the line, he risks more than his mission. He risks her safety, his redemption, and the path back to the Otherworld he longs to reach.

Touching her could destroy everything he was sent to protect.

Falling for her might cost him his way home.

A slow-burn paranormal romance of forbidden longing, soul-deep connection, and the fragile edge between fate and ruin.
