Description
Beth Astria is just a normal girl. That's what she forces herself to believe. The voices whispering in her mind about greater things, the dreams of a rustling forest and golden eyes were all things she forced into the back of her mind. They had been cute when she was a kid, but as she grew up people had begun to look at her askance. Until her parents uproot the comfort of her old life for a strange castle in another country that is far from normal. Deprived of her life, friends, and routine, the nearly empty estate should seem cold and hostile. Instead, the towering stone walls of an ancient castle, the forest behind it, and the mysterious butler all made her feel strangely safe and welcomed. The same did not apply to the muscular, amber-eyed stranger who kept rudely interrupting her life. The things he made her feel weren't as simple as welcomed or lonely. She knew she felt drawn to him as strongly as he seemed determined to push her away. And she realized that those eyes flashed a familiar gold at all the wrong times. What she didn't know was that he felt as drawn to her as she did to him, and that he'd do anything to protect her from the things coming for her. He couldn't afford to hold her, kiss her, or get to know her the way he desperately needed to. But nobody can protect her from her heritage.
