Rowena Marlowe hasn’t met a curse she couldn’t break until a sigil was seared into her thigh six months ago. It silences her magic and leaves her in constant pain. Her lover, Vael Vexley, a vampire scholar, has been searching for a cure alongside her mentor, her enigmatic former professor, Silas Drummond.
Desperate for relief, Rowena agrees to a blood-bonding ritual with Vael. But the ritual shatters every expectation, binding her not only to Vael but to his entire coven:
- Vael Vexley: the brilliant scholar and her first love, whose need for control may cost him the very woman he’s desperate to save.
Cassian Hale: the hardened general, forged by war and discipline, who swore his heart could never soften—until Rowena.
Dmitri Volkov: the steadfast soldier, whose quiet strength and steady presence bring her calm like no one else can.
Anton Mercier: the tender-hearted baker with a savage streak when danger threatens.
Quil Ashborne: the relentless hunter, sharp-edged and haunted, who fights his need for her as fiercely as he fights everything else.
Now, Rowena must navigate tangled loyalties, burning attraction, and the dangerous pull of five immortal bonds—all while Quil’s own family rises from the dark to claim her as theirs. As the truth behind her curse comes to light, a devastating revelation turns her world upside down.
Rowena must decide whether to cling to the life she lost…or embrace a new one that could change everything. Will she destroy the man who betrayed her...or find a way to live with a new kind of normal?
