Merlin learned to read the world in patterns; Aelwen learned to hear its heartbeat. He stared at horizons as if they held secrets meant only for him; she sat beside him without demanding why. When destiny seized him-prophecy and power carving his path-she did not plead, did not chain him. She named what they were: two souls walking apart, yet tethered by memory. Years split them. Merlin carried the weight of sight and restraint; Aelwen wandered exile, bending her magic to heal where the world bled, where soil, bodies, and hearts refused to mend. Villages feared her not for ruin, but for the quiet upheaval she left behind-wounds closing, earth sighing, death hesitating. When they meet again, magic bends, prophecy shatters, and the world shifts to hold what they choose. Not all bonds are written. Some are carved, some are claimed, and some are strong enough to hollow space where fate once ruled.

They were taught to hate each other before they were old enough to understand why. Valentina Romano and Theo Marchetti were once inseparable-until blood, betrayal, and legacy tore their families apart. Years later, they meet again in New York's most dangerous circles, where alliances are fragile and forgiveness is a liability. She is control wrapped in silence. He is restraint wrapped in guilt. Forced into an uneasy collaboration, old wounds resurface and new ones are carved deeper. Hatred turns to tolerance. Tolerance fractures. And the past refuses to stay buried. Bed in a world ruled by loyalty and violence, loving the wrong person isn't just dangerous. It's fatal.

All Lexi Rivers wants is to teach preschool, marry her jerk of a fiance Jackson, and lead a normal human life, but coming from a family of gifted magic users dedicated to summoning a demon and bringing about the end of the world makes her dreams... unobtainable. When Lexi's group summons Kirroz, a demon whose arrogance is offset by his unnatural charms, Lexi's role is to care for him. The more time Lex spends with the demon, the more she realizes that the man has a well-concealed sweet side that she's already unnaturally and intimately familiar with. Thanks to a series of strange dreams and fuzzy half-memories, Lexi remembers Kirroz from the past, but things take a dramatic turn when Kirroz reveals his genuine reasons for coming to this realm. Lexi will break down the walls between the god-realm and this earth and bring about the end of humanity, and it's Kirroz's job to help her. Will she break and cave to the demon? Or will she resist the Kirroz's demands as she remembers her first love the Raven of Water.
