When Layla Bennet, an ordinary girl with a talent she doesn't understand, awakens an ancient sorcerer buried beneath her city, she uncovers not just a man, but a god who has been asleep for a thousand years.
Erendor, once the ruler of light and storms, is cursed by a divine law: to sleep until the end of time, and to die if he ever loves a mortal again. But when Layla's touch brings him back to life, the impossible happens—his heart begins to beat again.
As ancient guardians rise to enforce the Old Testament, Layla and Erendor must descend into the ruins of his crumbling, buried kingdom to find the Heartstone, a relic powerful enough to rewrite destiny itself. But to break the curse, one of them must be willing to sacrifice everything—even love.
Caught between two worlds—modern and mythical, mortal and divine—they will defy the oldest law in heaven:
Love is death to the divine.
In doing so, they may awaken something far greater than the gods—something human.
