Eternal Guardian and Argonaut Zander is ready to enter the afterlife, having seen too many brothers and loved ones die while his immortality keeps him young and strong. Unfortunately, the fates are not on his side; regardless of how he puts himself in danger, he still manages to survive. Zander sacrifices his future by volunteering to bond/marry the future queen, Isadora, since a future with his soul- mate, Callia, is non-existent. Ten years ago, Callia and Zander shared the wonders of finding one's soul-mate until Callia betrayed Zander in the worst possible way. Agreeing to the binding ceremony puts Zander in Callia's hands, since she is the royal healer and physician. Being near Callia again brings out Zander's need and anger for his soul-mate, putting doubts in his mind regarding his choices for the future.

Royal Healer Callia is hurt and surprised when Argonaut Zander volunteers to bind himself in marriage to Princess Isadora, sacrificing his possible future with her. The thought of Zander being with another woman breaks Callia's heart, but now she is free to marry the man her father has betrothed her to for years. Regardless of Callia's feelings for Zander, she rushes to his side when he is severely injured during battle, forcing Callia to challenge her healing skills to save his life. During the process, Callia finds out Zander thinks she is a murderer for getting rid of their child. Upset that he would think she would do such a thing, Callia flees in the middle of the night into the arms of the enemy. Fearing no one will be able to save her, she is left with regrets and more sadness.

The second book in the Eternal Guardian series is an action- packed creative wonder guaranteed to snag your attention from page one. Loved it!
