And she's not the only one interested in them. A brooding stranger with dark, haunting eyes seems to know more about her fate than he lets on, and as danger mounts, their connection deepens in ways neither can deny. Now, Cassandra must choose: fight to return to her old life or embrace the magic of this new world-and the powerful destiny waiting for her. But in a realm where nothing is as it seems, the greatest threat may be the one lurking deep within herself. Welcome to a world of forbidden power, treacherous secrets, and a fate that could change everything.
