Islia was put to sleep a century ago and has spent those years beneath black waves, waiting.
In the world above, Orision, King of Selanthia, has been dreaming of a flame impossibly burning underwater. When he is told that this may be the answer to his life's greatest mystery, he wastes no time in diving in.
Orision is shocked to find that the flame is, as it turns out, a glowing red-haired Islia. And she is his mate. But the spell that saved Islia's life all those years ago has come at a cost, and now, the clock is ticking.
Oris, the man who feels nothing and trusts no one, finds himself unwillingly but fiercely devoted to a skittish woman he is destined to both love and lose. Islia, burdened by a sacred duty and devastating loss alike, finds it hard to trust the son of the man who killed her family and looks at her like she's his.
But once they fall...
