I woke on the shore with no memory-just salt on my lips and a hollow ache I couldn't explain.
They say I'm lucky.
But the town of Darkwater feels too quiet. Too watchful.
People avoid my eyes.
The sea whispers secrets I don't understand.
And I dream of a man I've never met-his voice like a vow wrapped around my name.
Then Cassian Vire arrives.
He's all stormcloud eyes and sharp restraint, claiming to be just passing through.
But he keeps finding me-watching, protecting, wanting.
And when he touches me, something ancient stirs inside me.
Something that knows him.
Our connection grows fast, raw, and undeniable.
He sees the pieces of me I've forgotten... and the parts I fear waking up.
But the closer we become, the more the cracks widen.
The truth wants out.
