Death was her only means of escape.

On Belhaven Island Lily Ferrara keeps to the periphery of the mysterious island, eschewing offers of community and friendship. The distance keeps her safe from being found by Elias Alden and dragged back to his government-sanctioned criminal headquarters.  If he knew she were alive, Elias would stop at nothing to return his best—and most profitable—healer to The Forge where she’d be forced to use her magic to treat the Commarasi elite and mercenaries like Shane Dawson.

As Elias’ best metalsmith, Shane crafted the powerful weapons used to oppress other magic users.  Tired of being endlessly indebted to Elias, Shane made his own escape and started a new life as Jake Mackenzie, a mechanic at the storied Belhaven Art and History Museum.

Despite their best efforts, fate and magic put Lily and Jake on a collision course with their old lives and a momentary act of mercy threatens to expose their secrets. Lily is forced to flee with the man who had once been the tether binding her to The Forge,

Trapped in an isolated cabin, hiding from the ghosts of their shared past, Jake and Lily must depend on each other to survive off the grid as they contend with the powerful, inexplicable pull of the other’s magic.
