War. Betrayal. Exile. I sacrificed everything to end a war that was tearing my home apart. My reward? Being seen as an abomination in the eyes of the people I'd fought so hard to save. After centuries of isolation, I find myself thrust back into the chaos of life because my friends need me and I won't let them down. Another war is brewing, and this one has the potential to destroy all the realms. But my past isn't ready to let me go just yet. As I hunt for answers about what the exiled king is plotting in a foreign realm, two complications arise. One an ancient enemy who wants a piece of soul. And the other... Niall. A fae warrior with a jaded past and dark secrets that rival my own. To accomplish my task, I'm forced to ally with him. But a fae bargain is never simple. And I can't help but fear that fate is once again leading me to ruin. Fall into this steamy love story about second chances told from Sigrun's POV. This is not a standalone and must be read after A Shift in Ashes.
