Some loves are impossible. Others cross worlds to prove they'''re not.

She came back for me. But she’s not alone.

Desdemona never thought she’d see Lyra again—the winged, otherworldly girl who turned her spring upside down and stole her heart. But when Lyra reappears through a crack in the summer sky, Des’s joy is short-lived.

Lyra isn’t alone. Ivana, a fiery and possessive beauty from Lyra’s world, has come too—and she isn’t about to let a ‘puny human’ steal her mate.

As jealousy flares and rivalries grow, Des and Lyra’s fragile reunion is tested. Worse, their presence draws the attention of a shadowy government agency bent on controlling—or erasing—anything not human.

To hold on to Lyra, Des must fight harder than ever. Because some loves are impossible… and others cross worlds to prove they’re not.

A sizzling, high-stakes sequel for fans of sapphic fantasy and star-crossed lovers. The perfect summer read for fans of These Witches Don’t Burn and Girls of Paper and Fire.
