Frederica has always lived for the first breath of spring. Each year, Paris blooms around her flowers in the market stalls, music spilling from cafés, the promise of warmth returning. But this year, the season never comes. The air stays cold, the streets feel hollow, and life itself seems stolen away.

Determined to find out why, Frederica takes command of a young man’s yacht and sets sail with her sister Erica on a dangerous quest to uncover what happened to the missing Goddess of Spring. Along the way, they meet Scott a man with no ties to magic yet pulled in from the moment he crosses their path. His loyalty is steady, his desire undeniable, and every day at sea pushes him closer to Frederica’s guarded heart.

As their search pulls them toward the shadowed edges of the Underworld, Frederica must weigh trust against suspicion, love against power. The seasons themselves rest on her choices, and so does her heart.

Will she find the goddess and dare to claim the love waiting beside her?
