A fearless adventurer. A cursed guardian. A fate sealed by an ancient relic.

Serafina Altamirano has spent her life chasing lost treasures, but nothing prepares her for the Eclipsed Relic, a mysterious artifact hidden deep within an overgrown jungle city. As she steps into the ruins’ central plaza, she encounters a breathtakingly powerful creature—a Chimera, part lion, part serpent, and entirely mesmerizing.

The Chimera, bound by an ancient curse, challenges Serafina’s presence but soon becomes her guide through the deadly ruins. He warns her of the relic’s enchantments, but when she ignores his cautions, she triggers its hidden power—nearly sealing her fate. The Chimera saves her, and their undeniable connection sparks something even more dangerous than the relic itself.

When a single, fated kiss unlocks Serafina’s forgotten past, she learns the devastating truth: Destroying the relic will also destroy the Chimera. As ruthless hunters descend upon them, she faces an impossible choice—protect the man she’s come to love or fulfill the mission she’s sworn to complete.

But Serafina refuses to accept fate’s cruel hand. Instead, she awakens a power she never knew existed—merging her very essence with the Chimera’s. As he transforms into a stunningly beautiful man named Aaric, the truth becomes undeniable: She was always meant to be his.

With the relic’s activation stirring an ancient force bent on destruction, Serafina and Aaric must stand together to fight for their love, their destiny, and the world itself.
