Bound by magic to watch over future generations, Liliaan loses her own future…
When one Rudolf Rowan speaks a wish for the safety of his children, he binds Liliaan as a protector forever. A father, desperate to keep his family safe, has no idea his wife harbors a dark secret.
Moving home to his grandparent’s wine farm, he again discovers happiness… until unspeakable tragedy strikes yet again. He finds peace, only to have that joy snatched from him. His innocent wish changes the course of one future. A future that will have Liliaan cursed to watch over her family for more than one single lifetime—she’s bound forever. But her torment is only starting; she must complete the painful—and deadly—trials to become a Keeper.
Long ago... “I never want any member of our family, future and present, to know such profound loneliness. I wish…”
At these words, Elda’s heart sank.
No, no, no, no, no… Not yet! Please not yet!
“…I wish for someone to watch over our issue, to guard them, and protect them, keep them safe. From childhood to adulthood, I wish we had someone who could be charged to protect our children, until they are of a mind to fend themselves. To protect them not only from harm, but also from loneliness…”
The rest of Rudolf’s words blurred, as Elda realised what had just happened. She looked down to her belly, protectively placing both her hands over her little girl.
Oh, my precious love, I am so sorry. I didn’t think! I had not had time to sever your bonds to our gifts, and now your own father had called you! What to do, what to do!
