  Summary

  Eris and Azriel have found peace at last. Bound by vows and years of quiet healing, their shadows have softened, their fire no longer burns to destroy but to warm. For the first time in too long, all is well.

  And Lucien Vanserra—once fractured, once lost—believed he might finally be whole again too. After clawing his way out of the ruins of his past, he enrolled in college, poured his heart into rebuilding a life that was entirely his own. He dreamed of a future with Jesminda—the woman who saw him, who loved him without flinching from the broken pieces he tried so hard to hide.

  They were planning a wedding. A home. A forever.

  Until the night she was taken from him—stolen in an act of senseless cruelty that shattered everything he’d fought to rebuild.

  Now, Lucien stands at the edge of himself once more, haunted by the ghost of her laughter and the echo of promises they never got to keep. Grief claws at him, old scars reopen, and he fears the truth that lurks in his heart: that this time, he may not be strong enough to rise again.

  But love—real love—doesn’t die quietly. And neither does he.
