According to Helle Madsen, being the protagonist of a time-spanning epic love story has some things going for it, primarily Jason Morris. Because seriously, meeting up with your fated lover after 3 000 years apart is not bad--at all. Unfortunately, where Jason goes, there goes Sam Woolf, yet another very, very ancient acquaintance--with the fundamental difference that Sam is not into Happily Ever After. He's into destruction, more specifically of Jason and Helle.

Helle may believe in second-chance love, but she sure doesn't believe in reincarnation. Okay, she didn't believe in stuff like that until she met Jason Morris a year or so ago. By now, she has accepted that sometimes impossible things are quite, quite possible--like an ancient princess being reborn as an ambitious financial analyst.

Finding Jason was like finding the part of her that had always been missing--a perfect match. But handling Sam Woolf, the reborn version of their ancient nemesis is something of a trial. No sooner do you have him well and surely beat, but up he bounces again. Sheesh, will it take an oak stake to permanently rid their lives of him?

Sam Woolf is a powerful adversary. Too powerful, even. Jason and Helle will need help from unexpected quarters to finally bring this tangled, ancient love-and-hate triangle to some sort of conclusion. Question is, will they survive the experience?
