She was supposed to be light. But nothing burns brighter than a girl who tastes the dark. Elira has lived her whole life believing she’s human—quiet, gentle, healing. But when a brutal immortal saves her from death and locks her away in his cliffside mansion, everything she thought she knew begins to unravel. Khael Thorne is rich, powerful, feared—and cursed. For centuries, he’s hunted the one soul who could destroy him or set him free. He never expected her to look like that: soft eyes, trembling lips, and power she doesn’t yet understand. He wants to own her. She wants to run. But something between them is ancient—dangerous. The more she resists him, the more she burns. And when her true power begins to awaken, even the gods will tremble. Torn between heaven and ruin, Elira must decide: Is she his prisoner… or his goddess?
