Rise

Damiano, an immortal who has endured centuries of loss and loneliness, has isolated himself from mortal attachments—until the Order, an ancient group protecting divine beings, pulls him into a new, unexpected connection. His world is turned upside down when Sophie Nash, fleeing for her life, crosses his path, stirring unfamiliar feelings and forcing him to confront his fears of vulnerability and belonging. As Damiano navigates these new complexities, he finds himself caring deeply for Sophie and her safety, challenging his long-held beliefs about solitude.
