Will their love be the key to redemption, or will it succumb to the shadows of the Eternal City?"

Astrid’s life ends the night she is taken by Ryker, an ancient vampire lord who claims she belongs to him, not as she is, but as someone she used to be. She refuses him but then the memories begin. Fragments of a life she never lived, a love she doesn’t remember choosing, a bond she cannot break. As her past resurfaces, Astrid discovers a truth far more dangerous than her captor. In her previous life, she didn’t just love Ryker, she betrayed him and nearly destroyed their world. Now her power is returning, along with a version of herself that is colder, stronger, and far less human. As reality begins to fracture and forces older than memory awaken, Astrid must choose, run from what she was or embrace it and risk becoming the very thing that ended everything before.
