Centuries ago, he was a ruler feared and revered, a sovereign who held the world in his hands—until he lost the only person he ever loved. In his grief, he made a forbidden deal: he would never age, never die, until his beloved returned to him.

Now, in the modern world, his love has finally been reborn. But he is no longer a warrior, a noble, or the man he once was. He is ordinary. He has no memory of the past, no recollection of the love that once defied fate itself. Worse, he does not believe in destiny.

Yet danger lurks in the shadows. Ancient enemies have not forgotten. Forces that once sought to tear them apart are rising once more, and this time, they know where to strike.

He has waited lifetimes for him.
He will not lose him again.

Even if it means reminding him—heart by heart, touch by touch—of the love that once made time itself stand still.
