Love's Proxy

The Goddess Shayla Tanner, in order to fulfill a millennium-old promise, used a puppet to endure the harm inflicted by her reincarnated lover, Nelson Shawn. Only when the puppet shattered did Nelson realize the truth, leaving him heartbroken and desperate for answers. By then, however, Shayla had already found solace in a kindred spirit, Cyrus Carter, plunging the three into a whirlpool of complicated emotions. After enduring life-and-death trials, she finally severed her lingering attachments and chose to embrace a new beginning—only to uncover a profound, cycle-transcending secret of devotion hidden within Cyrus.
