In the Scottish Highlands, Iara Seaver seeks freedom - and finds a call older than myth. Bound with five others in ways she doesn't yet understand, she must decide whether to embrace what is awakening inside her, or turn away. The tie between them is ancient, reaching deeper than memory, and it grows stronger with every step. Her heart is pulled in more than one direction, caught in a connection fierce with intimacy and choice - as consuming and unyielding as the elements themselves, a force that could shape the circle's destiny. Around them, forests murmur with their own breath and the lochs shimmer with secrets, alive with the echo of what was once sealed. And as their circle tightens and forces long forgotten press closer, what holds them together will either fracture and break them apart - or draw them together as one.
