Cassian remembers exactly how badly he failed her.
Once, Elowen willingly became the bride of the powerful god who ruled the Netherrealm. She loved him enough to spend season after season in his cold kingdom—until centuries of neglect turned marriage into loneliness and devotion into resentment.
Then a curse tore everything apart.
Now Elowen lives again as Mara, mortal and unaware of the immortal life she lost. Cassian has found her, but reclaiming his queen is not as simple as telling her who she used to be. The curse has rules of its own, and memory is only part of the price.
This time, Mara must choose him.
And Cassian must become capable of giving her the one thing his former self never truly understood: love.
As forgotten myths begin surfacing around Mara and powerful beings interfere from the shadows, attraction pulls her toward a man she cannot explain while every new truth gives her another reason not to trust him.
Cassian once won Elowen because he wanted her.
To break the curse, he must convince the woman she has become to want him back—without taking the choice away from her again.
