Torn Between realms
Some fates are written in the stars. Others are dragged from the shadows.
Cece never imagined her night would take such a turn until two strangers shoved her onto the subway tracks with a train racing toward her. In the split second before impact, he reached for her, pulling her from death’s grasp and into a world she never knew existed. Then…he vanished.
When Cece returns, more time has passed than should have, and something inside her has changed. The more she searches for her savior, the clearer the truth becomes: he isn’t human.
And whatever is awakening within her isn’t either.
Three laws. One choice. A love forbidden.
Lucien knows he’s broken the sacred rules his kind is bound by: never interfere in mortal realms, never cross without sanction, never leave a trace. Now, the woman he can’t imagine losing is changing, enemies are closing in, and the power that governs his world demands answers. To protect her, he must surrender who he was. To survive, she must embrace what she’s becoming.
As war ignites, the love they were never meant to have may be the very thing that saves or destroys them both.

Praise & Reviews
WHAT A MASTERPIECE! I loved everything about this, from the setting and characters to the world building and magic system and the fantastic twists and revelations! I was completely enthralled and cannot wait for the story to continue. This book was engaging and beautiful and so compelling.
Goodreads reviewer
This books was a fantastic read. We are talking about threats of war between realms, found family, a slow burn romance, and secrets! So many secrets! It is the perfect combination between fantasy, sci fi and romance, with a very unique magic system, that is honestly a breath of fresh air in the fantasy genre.

About Iris Gil
Iris Gil writes romance stories set against the rich and imaginative worlds of fantasy and sci-fi, because after twenty years of working in the science world, she’s inspired by the extraordinary. A true East Coast girl at heart and now a longtime Californian, she enjoys weaving together the places she's called home with deep emotion and a touch of the otherworldly.
When she’s not writing late into the night, she’s enjoying time with her family, getting lost in a good book, or happily distracted by Yorkshire terrier videos on the internet.
Let's stay connected!
