Even in love, the gods deceive
Alexandria, 400 B.C.E.
Eshe Akil wants nothing more than to protect her family and live quietly beneath the shadows of Alexandria’s grandeur. But when a mysterious man with desert stone eyes finds her in the market, everything changes.
Lome is unlike anyone Eshe has ever met—enigmatic, alluring, and impossibly handsome. As Eshe grapples with the pull of a forbidden connection, she finds herself torn between duty and desire, family and fate.
But immortals play by their own rules… and trusting one may cost Eshe everything.
