I was studying mazes for inspiration… but I found a guardian who makes me never want to leave.

I came to the Renaissance faire for research and quiet observation. Instead, I met a man in the shadows of a hedge maze who watched me like he already knew how my mind worked—and exactly where I’d end up. Asterion is intense, enigmatic, and far too compelling for someone who makes my pulse race every time he looks at me.

There’s something ancient in the way he moves. Something dangerous in the way he waits. When a mysterious invitation arrives with only one name—Nocturne Arcana—I realize the maze wasn’t a coincidence. It was fate.

Asterion isn’t just a man. He’s the labyrinth’s guardian. And stepping into his world means surrendering to shifting paths and a bond that could change me forever.

Following him into the dark might mean losing myself.

But walking away?

Impossible.
