She was the key to his kingdom. He was the storm that uprooted her life. For fourteen thousand years, Roth Ikshwak has been a King in exile, cursed to languish on the primitive world of Earth. His singular goal: to find, and bind, the one woman who holds the power to break his chains. He has lost her to the cycle of reincarnation for eons. No more.
Ila is sure she has hit the jackpot when she gets the job at a world-leading architecture firm. Little does she know that she is walking into a trap centuries in the making. Or that the man she is falling for is an alien monarch and her heart may just be the final piece in a cosmic war.
Then, an age-old enemy, Kraal, escapes his prison and Roth vanishes into the stars. Leaving Ila with nothing but memories. And a secret she will spend the rest of her life protecting: his sons.
Sixteen years later, the King has returned.Ila is no longer the starry-eyed maiden. She is a mother, a protector, and she has no room for the man who ghosted her.
But with old enemies and old wars rearing up, Roth is yet again forced to make the same choice he faced millennia ago.
The kingdom or the woman. His people or his sons.
In a life bound by duty, can a King finally choose love?
