Sydney and Helen were promised to each other before they were old enough to understand what forever meant. When their vows were spoken, Sy was too young and selfish to cherish the gentle wife who loved him without question. He mistook love for something that would wait for him to grow up. He was wrong. Before he could mend what he’d broken, Helen was ripped from his arms and buried beneath cold earth. Grief drives Sy to darkness. Desperate to undo fate, he summons forbidden magic, trading stolen souls for a binding spell that ties them together beyond death. When destiny finally reunites them, Helen is no longer the gentle bride he failed.. She is stronger. Harder.
Changed. And when her memories of Sy return, so does the pain. Helen wants freedom. Sy wants Helen. He will worship her. He will kill for her. He will burn the world down before he lets her slip through his fingers again. Sy has defied fate once already. Now he’ll do whatever it takes to win back the woman he loved too late.
