His presence stirs a fire inside her—one her husband could never ignite. Kael's return forces her to confront the dark, twisted love he once held over her, and the truths she’s fought to forget.
Caught between a loveless marriage and the dangerous pull of Kael’s unyielding passion, Seraphina must choose: stay in the cage of her duty, or embrace the haunting love that threatens to consume her.
