With the arrival of her trial, she will go where fate dictates and is destined to fall in love. At least she'll finally find the man she was meant for. Whether she likes it or not. Quinn has spent his life preparing for his family's prophecy, but no spell or book could have ever prepared him for Kylie. Her passion for him is strong and persistent but he must deny what she makes him feel. Though he's drawn to her beauty and vitality, deep inside he fears her. Quinn already knows what he wants, and accepting her means giving up on himself. United in their battle against evil, Quinn and Kylie can't see what's right in front of them. And they never suspected what destiny had in store. Only the worst can bring them together, but will they be forever bound by love? Or by loss?
