Heartbroken and humiliated, the gifted Keeper refuses to remain anyone’s pawn. She walks away from the man who betrayed her, unaware that someone far more powerful has been waiting centuries for her return.

An ancient Original who has waited two hundred years finally steps into her life, offering Allie the devotion, respect, and love she was denied. With him by her side, Allie begins to discover her true strength and rises to a position of power she never imagined.

Meanwhile, her former lover watches helplessly as the woman he once discarded builds a new life with a man who surpasses him in every way. Realizing too late what he has lost, he begs Allie for another chance.

But the woman who once cried over him no longer needs his love. As Allie confronts those who betrayed and underestimated her, she destroys every obstacle standing in her way and chooses the love that was there from the beginning.

By the time her former lover understands the value of what he threw away, Allie has already moved on—and there is no place for him in her heart.
