Elara buried her mate five years ago.

She buried her magic with him. Now her healing gift is fading, her wolf is weakening, and the only thing keeping her going is the garden she can no longer save.

Then a stranger's touch sets her skin on fire with gold and silver light, and everything she thought she understood about her power, her past, and her heart is about to be tested.

Kael is not what he seems, and neither is the man who returns from the shadows wearing the face of someone she loved and lost. As ancient magic tears through the world, old bonds turn dangerous, and a corrupted power threatens everyone Elara has left, she must decide how much of herself she is willing to give to save the people she loves.

Some bonds cannot be broken. Some sacrifices cannot be undone. And this Christmas, the fate of everyone she loves may come down to one impossible choice.

A gripping, emotional wolf shifter fantasy romance full of second chances, ancient magic, and a love that refuses to die. Perfect for fans of fated mates, high stakes paranormal romance, and holiday magic with real teeth.
