A shattered dream. A broken promise.
Two former flames bound together in their search for the lost city of Atlantis. Centuries ago, aristocrat Khalida Azaes sacrificed everything for love.
Now, as the prestigious Head Guard of House Azaes, she lives a life of duty and order. Until a forsaken pantheon threatens to destroy the world.
Khalida will do anything to stop them, including teaming up with the Atlantean outsider who shattered her heart.
Charmer, gambler, and rogue, Talik Njoror seduced his way into Atlantean society with no regrets…except for leaving Khalida.
Seeing her again forces him to confront the memories and emotions he’s buried deep and thought he’d long forgotten. But fate has other plans.
Bound by a shared painful history and thrown into a battle of wills neither wants as they search for an ancient relic.
Talik and Khalida must confront their past if they want to stay ahead of their enemies and survive their future.
As an ancient god rises, Khalida and Talik must decide: will rekindling their desire help protect their world—or destroy it?
