Dr. Margot Cross was right about the impossible-and it destroyed her career.
Eighteen months ago, she presented evidence that the Temple of Dalreth was far more than ancient stone. The archaeological community called her delusional. Her university cut ties. Her colleagues whispered behind her back. But when reports of a mysterious illness start emerging from the forbidden northern territories, Margot sees the patterns she predicted. The temple is responding to something. And people are dying.
With nothing left to lose, she hires a guide to take her into the restricted zone. Aren is guarded, capable, and hiding secrets of his own. Together, they discover that Margot was right all along. The temple holds memories of the last outbreak, three hundred years ago. It knows what's killing people. It knows how to stop it. But its ancient solution might destroy everyone before it saves them. With only hours to prevent a catastrophic response, Margot must learn to communicate with something that remembers when her ancestors were still learning to build with stone.
What begins as a desperate race to save thousands becomes something neither of them expected: a partnership built on trust, a love forged in impossible circumstances, and proof that sometimes the greatest discoveries aren't found in ancient ruins-they're found in each other.
A slow-burn adventure romance where nature holds the answers, ancient wisdom meets modern science, and two broken people learn that believing in the impossible might be the most rational thing they've ever done.
