A dream for one. A nightmare for the other. A secret that binds them both.
For seven years, Elara rosier has lived two lives. By day, she is a normal 22-year-old trying to find her way. By night, she is a prisoner to a recurring dream-standing at a ruined altar in a blood-red bridal gown, weeping for a stranger whose face she can never see. It's a silent cry that has haunted her since she was fifteen, a shadow that refuses to leave her even in the light of day.
Then there is Julian Sterling.
A man of power, silence, and cold iron. Julian carries a darkness that no one can touch-a childhood trauma rooted in a family betrayal that destroyed his mother's life and left him with a heart of stone. He doesn't believe in fate, and he certainly doesn't believe in dreams.
But when Elara and Julian finally cross paths, the blur in her dream begins to clear. Julian isn't just a stranger; he is the man from the altar.
As the pieces of their broken pasts begin to fit together, they realize their connection isn't a coincidence. It's a debt. And the "Scarlet Vow" made in the shadows of Julian's childhood is finally coming to claim them both.
