When love is strategy, each choice has consequences.
You know it’s love when conquest feels like devotion…
Hippo Regius, 404 AD. Aurora wakes to smoke on the horizon and assassins at the door. Shielded by Lucius’s sword, they flee—leaving an ancient text said to hold the secret of immortality, in peril.
When her conscience whispers that the price for Lucius’s protection is too high, Aurora abandons the man she loves. Across ages and empires, she builds the Keepers of Knowledge, sworn to safeguard humanity’s future. Yet every twisting path leads her back to Lucius—her ally, her enemy, her undoing.
From tortured vows of love to betrayals carved in blood, Aurora and Lucius circle each other across centuries. And as adversaries close in, Aurora must place her heart on the scales of morality—and try to balance the future of humanity with an eon-crossing love.
A dark historical immortal romance where survival cuts as deep as betrayal, and love is a game of strategy played across the ages.
