A cursed bond. A forbidden touch. A myth-soaked Celtic slow burn where memory, fate, and desire collide.
Aisling once begged Elliot Phoenix for help.
On an archaeological dig in rural Ireland, a fae-born nightmare stalked her friend—a creature that killed through dreams. Elliot, a witch descended from a god, had the power to save her.
He didn’t.
Her friend died, and Aisling buried both her grief and her belief in magic.
Now Elliot is back… and he needs her.
Aisling is the only one who can read his forbidden grimoire—the key to stopping a new wave of supernatural attacks. She hates him for the past, but she can’t let more people die.
Then she learns the truth:
She’s tied to this threat far more deeply than she knew—through a past life in ancient Ireland, when she was Flame: a druid of Brigid, bound to a sacred well and an old oak that still remembers her.
And helping Elliot comes with a price.
A fae queen curses them both, binding their lives together yet forbidding any touch. Runes blaze across their skin whenever they reach for each other—burning, blinding, devastating.
One touch could end them.
One mistake could burn the world.
Hunted by fae nightmares and forced into an alliance they never wanted, Aisling and Elliot must unravel the truth of her past life, break the curse, and face the desire that refuses to die between them.
He can’t touch her.
She can’t look away.
This is not a simple love story—it’s a reckoning across lifetimes.
