Threads of gold, ancient and dangerous, pull them together; a bond neither can deny.
Jase Raion receives an unexpected assignment—locate and retrieve a girl he was certain was dead.
Expecting nothing, he goes to Brighton—a port town on the island of Aria—and finds her.
The girl who escaped the fall of Aria.
The girl who bears the symbol of Eternity.
The girl whose blood the Titan of Time thirsts for.
Liya Fairaway, the Princess of Aria, and his target.
The moment he sees her, he knows she is not safe,
from the Zodiac meant to protect her, the Titan of Time, nor his father—the King of Chall.
