A forbidden pact. A love marked for ruin. And a curse that refuses to stay buried.
Lily Quinn thought she could outrun her past. But the night she feels ancient magic reawaken beneath her skin, everything changes. The curse she made as a desperate child-one bound in blood and shadow-was never forgotten. And now, it's come to collect.
As the darkness resurfaces, so does Elijah-the one man she should never love. Bound by rival legacies and dangerous secrets, their attraction is as undeniable as it is doomed. But their reunion may not be fate-it may be manipulation from a force older than either of them.
To survive the magic she's unleashed, Lily must confront her past, fight the power inside her, and decide if love is worth risking everything-even her soul.
