It was as if time had stopped. Paused at the exact moment where Sylvia was to utter the words that would change her life forever. Here, in the church, in front of the whole town. She would love, desire and bed only one man... It was unfair, for Raymond to love and be married to a girl who doesn't feel the same way. And selfish of her to think that she could marry the son of a mayor with wealth and comfort but no consequence....

He has the face of someone she once loved. Someone who died two years ago. The resemblance, uncanny. But in Willow's search for answers she discovers far more than she intended. Now sucked into a world she never knew existed, plagued with war and bloodshed, a threat to her life surfaces. And perhaps a threat to her world. She swore to keep everyone at arm's length, never let them in and they can never leave. But, Jassiah brought down her walls, made her feel vulnerable. And once again she was at the risk of a broken heart.
