For twenty-three years, Zareth has walked among humans, watching, evaluating, and preparing to decide their fate. Sent from a world where logic reigns and emotion is weakness, he sees Earth as a planet filled with fragile, irrational beings unworthy of salvation. He longs for the moment he can return home and leave this chaotic world behind. But everything changes when he meets Mira. Mira is human-soft-spoken, full of life, and completely unaware of the ancient forces lurking in the shadows. When Zareth is drawn to her in a way he cannot explain, he begins to question everything he was raised to believe. Love was never meant to be part of his mission. Choosing her means forsaking his people, his duty, and the honor of his bloodline. But choosing his destiny means losing her forever. As Zareth's ruthless brother, Dain, is sent to hunt him down and erase his disgrace, Mira is thrust into a war she never knew existed. Now, Zareth must make an impossible choice: embrace his heritage and return to his people, or defy the only life he has ever known for a love that could destroy them both. A story of forbidden love, destiny, and the battle between logic and emotion, this fantasy romance will pull you into a world of dragons, honor, and a choice that could change the fate of two worlds.
