Maya Stevens is a woman anchored in reality. As a brilliant young art curator in New York City, her life is a carefully catalogued collection of facts, dates, and provenances. But the art is beginning to bleed into her life in ways she can't explain.
She suffers from dreams of a medieval fortress, the scent of woodsmoke, and the silver-gray eyes of a dark-haired stranger who holds her as she dies. She possesses an unnerving, intimate knowledge of history she never learned. And in a forgotten corner of the museum hangs a centuries-old portrait of an unknown lady whose face is, impossibly, her own.
Maya believes she is losing her mind.
Until he walks into her life.
Lucian Ashford. A billionaire benefactor as handsome, brilliant, and ancient as the artifacts he collects. His gaze is too intense, his knowledge of history too personal, and his every touch feels like a jolt of phantom memory. He is a stranger, yet her very soul seems to recognize him, to ache for him with a longing that spans centuries.
He offers her a world of impossible truths and a love story written across a thousand years. But Lucian is not just a mysterious suitor. He is a creature of the night, with secrets darker than any shadow and enemies far older than any city. And his obsession with Maya is about to reawaken an ancient war, placing her at the center of a battle she doesn't even know she's been fighting for six lifetimes.

Darren "Dare" Lupin is a young wolf shifter struggling with the weight of his past and the looming classification test that will define his future. Eight years ago, his brother Ethan, a Caregiver, suffered a devastating loss when his first Little, Duncan, died from an asthma attack. Duncan's death shattered their family, and Darren, only seventeen at the time, felt the grief just as deeply. Duncan had been like a nephew to him, following him around at every chance, and his absence left a painful void. Back then, Ethan was still living at home after graduating from Chass, a prestigious Shikari school for Doms and Subs. He had brought Duncan with him, and their bond had been unshakable. But when Duncan fell gravely ill just before Darren's eighteenth birthday, Ethan rushed him to the hospital-only for tragedy to strike. The loss changed Ethan, leaving him hesitant to embrace his role as a Caregiver again, and it left Darren watching his older brother struggle through grief. Years later, Ethan finally found the strength to open his heart again and took in another Little. Their family slowly began to heal, though the loss of Duncan would never fade completely. Now, Darren finds himself at a crossroads. He delayed his classification test using the grieving clause, but that time is running out. He has spent years working as a Classification Retrieval Agent, finding and escorting unclassified individuals to their tests: his own classification and what it will mean for his future. Despite the love and support of his family, Darren wrestles with uncertainty. He has seen firsthand how much pain being a Caregiver can bring, and the thought of being classified as one terrifies him. But no matter how much he fights it, the inevitable moment is approaching-one that will determine who he is meant to be.
