In the secluded forests of Capri, Cleo lives a quiet life, surrounded by books, her cats, and the ancient dragon tree she calls her sanctuary. But her world flips upside down when a haunting encounter with a mysterious creature leads her to Zehra-a fierce, guarded protector with supernatural abilities.
Drawn to Zehra in ways she can't explain, Cleo becomes entangled in a web of danger, secrets, and a power struggle beyond her understanding. Zehra, equally captivated yet burdened by a need to shield Cleo, battles her own demons and the growing threat around them. As dark forces close in, Cleo must decide how far she's willing to go to uncover the truth and fight for the one person she's been told to stay away from.
With each revelation, the bond between them deepens, sparking an electrifying connection neither can ignore. But in a world where magic and peril are intertwined, will their connection be their salvation-or their undoing?
