Product Information

When two young rival journalists find love through a magical connection, they must face the depths of hell, in a war among gods, to seal their fate forever.I knew then who I truly was. Who I had always been. Yesenia of Aroth. I was Yesenia of Aroth—not now, not in this body, but I had been her in another life, in Adrian’s life.” Because the heart of Isolde’s story is, like so many fantasy heroes before her, about figuring out who she truly is—and what sort of woman she wants to become.

However, even their undeniable chemistry won't deter Isolde from her mission. ⁠ That was why I hadn’t been able to grip my sword, why my body seemed to be at odds with my mind, why I suddenly felt desperate to be crushed beneath the weight of a warm body that could fill me better than anything I’d ever had before.
