Six years ago, Darian died. The gunshots that stole his life still echo in Elaine's mind, a melody of grief she's never been able to silence. Shattered by loss she runs away from her home to rebuild herself piece by fragile piece. A bachelorette trip to the Capitol brings her face-to-face with the impossible. The same lightning storm-colored eyes. The same voice that once promised forever.
Darian is alive.
His resurrection uncovers a dangerous plot for power orchestrated by Nicholas-Darian's uncle. Elaine finds herself caught between helping her once dead love or watching the place she once called home wither away. As the veil between truth and deception begins to tear, Elaine is forced to navigate a dark web of ancient magic, political unrest, and the dangerous pull of a love that refuses to stay buried.
