Immortal men like Rhys Glyndwr belong to forgotten fables—along with his reincarnating wife—but instead, they haunt the mind of a modern scientist, Isla Belle Thorne. Like an old blanket, visions of the healer servant and his wife, the daughter of a duke, have comforted Isla Belle, the only constant in her unstable childhood.
When her mother is hospitalized for a mental breakdown, Isla Belle fears for her own health and keeps the visions a secret. As Isla Belle starts her new job at a renowned medical organization, she comes face to face with Rhys—the same man from her visions.
She’s told an impossible tale of a love that death cannot kill. Surrounded by science but faced with an implausible legend, Isla Belle must decide what to believe and what to leave behind.

Snippet #2
The cold night air nipped at my skin, the temperature
falling as we inched closer to the holidays. Stephen had tried once more to
convince me to
stay home but I owed my mother—and myself—some answers.
An army of silk dresses and black tuxedoes made their way up the two-prong staircase of the
Stanford mansion. Earlier, Stephen had told me that Leland Stanford built the
mansion in Sacramento years before he built the university in Palo Alto. I’d almost told
Stephen that I had no memory of Leland, only his wife, Jane—an
impossible idea. The Stanfords were buried a century before my
birth.
