You know it's love when devotion looks like destruction...

Scotland, 1803 AD. Lucius marches off to war, leaving Aurora alone as Keeper of Knowledge. Restless in his absence, she returns to the shadows-shaping revolutions, influencing leaders, and watching a new ally whose ambitions could upend everything she has built.

From the battlefields of Belgium to the nightclubs of London, Aurora's and Lucius's paths continue to intertwine-yet every reunion reveals a man increasingly hardened by power, and a woman haunted by heavy choices that have shaped history.

When Lucius offers Aurora a new chance to rule beside him, she realises his ethics are no longer what is holding her back from accepting. Instead, she wonders if she, the Keeper of Knowledge, is worthy of the task. But while some questions reveal the truth, others obscure it...

A dark historical immortal romance where knowledge is a weapon, power a shield, and love becomes the battlefield of choices that might break more than hearts.
