ARIA I am alone. Like I have always been. Other people look at me, see my face and think I have everything. But I have even less than the pauper in the street. I am doused in opulence, and I have a name; but none of those things are mine. I am at the mercy of those who own my life. IGOR A hundred years of banishment to this realm was the price I paid. A realm of humans, where I am the monster of every youngling’s nightmare and a cautionary tale for naughty children. Am I changed enough to return to my realm? The answer stares at me, as clear as the moon above. No. A chance meeting leaves Aria in the hands of the mysterious monster that haunts her lands. Will life finally give them the peace they both crave, or will their pasts catch up with them and ruin everything?

Igor and Aria find themselves thrust into a new chapter of their lives with the Modo tribe. As they await the birth of their offspring, they must navigate the politics of a world that remains far from welcoming. Igor’s haunted past looms large, presenting challenges that threaten to shatter their very place in the new world. Will he rise to the occasion and shield his mate and children from the humiliation of failure? Or will he falter, condemning them to an unimaginable fate in a cruel world where danger lurks behind every rock? As the Goddess weaves her intricate threads, Igor and Aria must stand united as they confront insurmountable odds and adversaries determined to get rid of them. Journey with these two souls as they strive to claim the destiny that was written for them.
