Her sacrifice will save a kingdom, while her love will slowly destroy it.
Over a hundred years have passed since the Goddess took Elsie’s mother and her fated bond away from the Kingdom of Gaia. They remain safe in the human realm, but this safe time is at an end. Death hunts for them, searching for the one blessed with light magic.
Elsie is training and waiting for the Goddess’ call to return to Gaia. She plans to break the curse that is plaguing the kingdom and finally kill the God of Death. However, she faces a problem. To defeat Death Elsie must bond and tie her magic to two witches in Gaia she has never met before. With her heart already belonging to another, Elsie must fight the pull of her fated bonds and fight to protect the one she loves.
With every passing day, more lives are lost. Enemies get closer and secrets begin to unravel.
Elsie must find a way to kill the God of Death or be consumed by the shadows she is meant to destroy.
