Love can survive death. The question is: what price are you willing to pay for it?
When Astor is killed by a stray bullet during a hunting trip, Vivien's world shatters. Before a week of mourning has even passed, her family is already arranging a marriage to a man she could never love.
But Vivien hears whispers of an ancient legend hidden among the Yaris Mountains. They say that beside a cursed lake lives the Forgotten One—a mysterious being who strikes bargains with those unable to let go of their grief. Some claim he can bring the dead back to life. Others warn that no one ever returns from him unchanged.
Desperate and determined, Vivien sets out on a journey, unaware that the enigmatic guardian carries wounds of his own—and that every wish comes at a price.
Because death never gives anything away for free.
