Overview

Peace never lasts long on an island built on secrets. When new vampires begin falling from the sky and whispers of an ancient prophecy return to Santorini, Valarie Beavois is forced back into the world she tried to leave behind—a world of blood, resurrection, and the Dark One's awakening.

Detective Elisabet Dumont promised she was done with the supernatural. But the Reaping Cult has marked her, dragging her into rituals older than the island itself. When she is bound by a soul contract she doesn't remember signing—one that ties her life and sanity to the Cult's will—Elisabet becomes their unwilling key to unlocking the Golden Trio: three talismans powerful enough to bind or break the darkness rising beneath Santorini's cliffs.

As the prophecy unfolds, long-buried truths claw their way to the surface. Elisabet's dead sister returns with secrets of her own. Valarie's past refuses to stay buried. And the talismans begin choosing their wielders—revealing that destiny has been weaving Valarie and Elisabet together from the beginning, through every war, mistake, lie, and resurrection.

With enemies closing in and the island fracturing between old magic and new blood, Valarie and Elisabet must fight to protect the life they've built… even as fate demands they sacrifice everything to save Santorini.

Love brought them together. Prophecy wants to tear them apart.
And the Dark One is no longer sleeping.

Perfect for fans of dark sapphic romance, morally gray heroines, ancient prophecies, cult intrigue, and slow-burning devotion, this sequel delivers high emotional stakes, heart-stopping twists, and a love story that refuses to die.
