For over three centuries, Calum has walked the earth condemned to immortality by the vengeful curse of a witch burned at the stake long ago. Once a proud young man, he has become a weary wanderer, exhausted by the passage of time and desperate to end the life that refuses to leave him. His only remaining purpose is to break the curse that has chained him to endless existence.
Everything changes when he encounters Catherine, a modern woman who bears not only the bloodline of the witch who cursed him, but also her resemblance. At first Calum believes she is the witch returned to torment him, but he soon learns that Catherine is unaware of her family's dark legacy. As the truth slowly unravels, fear turns to tenderness, and Calum finds himself falling in love for the first time in over a century. Catherine, drawn to his quiet sorrow and strange magnetism, returns his affection—unaware that loving him means stepping into a world steeped in ancestral magic, and ancient grudges.
But their fragile happiness is threatened from all sides. Catherine's mother and grandmother know the truth of their lineage, and the grandmother—keeper of the old stories and ancient relics, and protector of the family line—forbids their union. Worse still, the ghost of the witch lingers in the shadows. Consumed by rage that has only grown in death, she seeks to destroy the bond forming between her descendant and the man she damned.
As Calum and Catherine fight for their love, long-buried secrets rise to the surface: a hidden cult and ancient rituals dedicated to threatening everything they hold dear, and a conspiracy that spans generations. Calum is captured by the cult and entombed alive in a cave, condemned to rot for eternity—an imprisonment only immortality could make so cruel.
But Calum refuses to surrender. Driven by love and the desperate need to save Catherine from the fate closing in around her, he escapes his living grave and races against time to find her. As the forces of the past and present collide, Calum must confront the curse that has defined his life—and decide what he is willing to sacrifice to save the woman who has given him a reason to live again.
