"His eyes returned to mine, that invisible tether between us strung too tight.

That magnetic pull, it was unbreakable, unyielding. Eternal.

And it demanded that we collide."

On the secluded continent of Edenvale, possessing magic is a death sentence. Those who have it are labelled Cursed, and by order of the king, they are Cleansed—a horrific event utilizing a hot, hungry pyre and an iron collar. Enemy to the king, a group known as the Cursed rebels defend their lands from his reach, creating an ongoing, bloodthirsty war.

When Sage’s brother is conscripted for the war, she is forced to trade in her cozy, peaceful cottage life and join the Cursed rebels to get him back. Her mission seems straightforward, but Von, the leader of the Cursed rebels, comes riddled with dark secrets. With his otherworldly eyes, black as a starless night, and a taste for juicy thigh—ahem—red apples, Sage knows better than to get involved with a guy like him. But knowing and doing are two very different things.

Together with the Cursed rebels and Von, the king of inky deals and sexy, stolen moments, Sage embarks on the quest of a lifetime. Little does she know that fate is at work and the gods are watching her every move.

 “But heed this warning, and heed it well, your
mate’s life is linked with the very male she is destined to kill.”

With an iron collar wrapped around her neck, Sage is cut off from her powers and forced to live in Clearwell Castle, home to her enemy—the ruthless king whose bloodthirsty rule has led to the death of thousands of Cursed. Sage knows that if she is going to stop the persecution of the children of the Old Gods she has to end the king’s reign. Permanently.

But when she meets the devastatingly handsome heir to the Edenvale throne, Prince Aurelius, she finds another reason to stay at the castle. Who is this mysterious male that bears no resemblance to the king and what is it about him that makes him feel so . . . familiar?

As Sage begins to unlock the memories from her past, she discovers that Von hid more from her than just his identity he hid what he took from her. Everything that she thought she knew about the seductive, dark, apple-loving immortal is brought into question and there is only one way to find out the
truth, she needs to remember it all.

Like a deadly brushfire on a windy day, the past is coming. Will it forge Sage into someone stronger, or will it consume her?

. . . that’s if Von doesn’t first.

“It was like he had lifted the lid to a small locket box, because a
soft, beautiful melody began to play—happy and sad, and filled with love and
loss.

It was the song of us.

The song of Life and Death.”

Centuries before the events of Between Life and Death and Between Sun and Moon . . . Centuries before she was Sage . . . She was Aurelia, the Goddess of Life.

The decades-long Immortal War has ended and a new deal has been struck between the two warring sides. In exchange for the freedom of others, Aurelia reluctantly agrees to live in the Spirit Realm where she will give her hand in marriage to the God of Death—Von.

The lethal, sexy, immortal claims he will make her his queen, but she knows full well that she will not be wearing a gilded crown upon her head, but rather a tight collar around her neck. Having no intentions of becoming his prisoner, on the day she is supposed to go with him, she makes a swift decision and runs from him instead.

Thunderclouds and swords are not the only things that collide when Von tracks her down in the dark, foreboding woods. There, steamy passions and shadow chains lure Aurelia into making another deal with him—a deal that she won’t be able to run away from this time. A deal that will forever lock her to his side.

. . . Right where Death wants her to be.
