But when she rescues a mysterious young woman in an alleyway behind a bar, something in her shifts - nothing as simple as desire. Almost like a homecoming, to a home she's never known. Tairei knows Aili, even if Aili can't recognize herself in Tairei's eyes. And in Tairei's presence, the world routinely upends itself, and the impossible becomes almost ordinary.
When Tairei disappears in a fiery tempest, she saves Aili but also grants her a terrible immortality, and new and undiscovered powers Aili can't control. She will risk all the safety she has won to find Tairei again: crossing into a spiritual realm, wielding a sword she can't remember, and discovering a love doomed a thousand years ago.
And it just might bring her home again.
