If she turns him away, the rebels will demand revenge.Chyr is a Rider of the Anvar'thaine — an immortal bound by oaths — but a mysterious wound is dragging him toward death, and the doorway back to his world is closing. To save both realms, he must rely on the mortal woman who has every reason to hate him and betray him.Stalked by their enemies through the burning Highlands and haunted by Flora's awakening magic, Flora and Chyr must decide whether love is worth the ruin it promises.Honor is everything — until it isn't. Then you hunt for the one chance left.As a massive fan of Outlander, I went into this story hoping for a touch of sweeping romance, aching emotion, and lush world-building — and I was not disappointed. In fact, the similarities were uncanny in the best possible way. There's the same richness of setting, the same sense of fate-touched love, and that slow, simmering tension between two characters who feel destined for each other, even as the world threatens to pull them apart. —Lilith's LibraryEnemies to lovers • Forbidden love • Forced proximity • He falls first • Immortal wounded hero • Smart, strong heroine • Dual POV • Scottish Highlands romantic fantasy • Celtic mythology • High stakes • Highland fae rebellion • Slow-burn → spice • High angst • Closing-door portal fantasy • Chosen one • Immersive world-building • Unique magic system • Matriarchy vs Patriarchy • Found family • BanterPerfect for fans of Sarah Maas, Diana Gabaldon, Rebecca Yarros, Carissa Broadbent, Penn Cole, Rachel Gillig, and Devney Perry. ★★★★★ PRAISE FOR MARTINA BOONE ★★★★★Skillfully blends rich magic and folklore with adventure, sweeping romance, and hidden treasure . . .
