Publisher's Synopsis
Second chance romance. Sworn-off love. Forced proximity. Matchmaking.
A reckoning is coming. But not the one Axel was counting on. He is not prepared to work alongside the woman who tore his heart out. Celeste had once been his entire world until she told him it was all a lie, and that she never truly loved him. Ignoring her and holding onto his anger is the only way to maintain his sanity. Too bad a certain goddess doesn't agree with him.
Celeste once loved the handsome, irreverent fire paladin with all her heart. But leaving Axel had been necessary, a matter of life and death. Confronted with the hidden, dark nature of their society, she'd had no time for tears. Instead, Celeste was forced to take care of business alone. Yes, she lied, but her secrets have made her capable and strong. She intends to prove as much during the Warden Trials. She only wishes Axel would allow her to show him too.
Will Axel and Celeste get their second chance at happiness? Or will old betrayals and new secrets divide them forever?
