Ten years have passed since the Death God cursed Crimson to the Forest of Lost Souls. Her existence consists of loneliness and regret, until the day a stranger enters her forest, seeking answers to his past. Pete calls to Crimson's blood in ways no man ever has. As their love blooms, Crimson comes to a crossroads. Unrest has overtaken her kingdom, and freedom from her curse is offered by the most unlikely source-Skye. To save her kingdom, she must leave the man she loves and trust the woman she once scorned. But her release from the forest comes with a price and Pete is cursed in her place. Faced with a past that defines her, a brutal usurper who will test her powers of seduction, and a lover who now shoulders her curse, Crimson's destiny will take a new turn, entangling it further with Skye and Mark's.
