An immortal witch risks everything to resurrect the man she loved enough to kill.
For centuries, Celeste Soraya has lived with one impossible truth: she killed the man she loved to save him. Bound by guilt and devotion, she guards the place of his death, believing that love strong enough to survive lifetimes might also bring him back.
Her long-awaited ritual succeeds—but not as she intended. Erik returns as a hardened warrior with no memory of their love, sharing his body with Victor, a ruthless dark force that feeds on Celeste’s sacrifice and desire. Torn between longing and fear, Celeste must win back Erik’s trust while fighting an enemy who knows her heart too well.
As passion, memory, and magic collide, love becomes both weapon and weakness. To save Erik’s soul—and prevent a darkness from consuming their world—Celeste may be forced to make the same devastating choice once more, knowing that true love has never come without a price.
