Briar doesn't remember the boy with the storm in his eyes.
She doesn't remember the kiss in the rain, or the promise they made to each other as the world around them burned.
All she knows is that something's missing.
She feels it in dreams she can't hold onto. In the way her chest tightens when she sees the same stranger in her bookstore more than once. In the strange pull toward a door in the middle of a field-ancient, silent, and waiting.
Casen doesn't remember her either.
But he's been chasing the feeling of her for years.
There's a piece of him he's never been able to name-something lost in a fire he doesn't remember surviving. A door that hums with a kind of magic that makes his bones ache. And a girl who looks at him like he should mean something to her.
When they finally open the door together, they fall into the ruins of a kingdom they once called home.
Evermere.
Burned. Broken. Still bleeding magic.
What waits for them there isn't just memory-it's the truth. About who Casen was. About who Briar chose to be. About the love they built in secret, and the betrayal that tore everything apart.
Now, in a realm on the edge of collapse, with enemies watching and fate unraveling, they must relearn how to trust each other-and themselves.
Because the door didn't steal just their memories.
It stole their love.
And some things aren't meant to stay lost.
