As Elyse and Jérôme dig into the past, how far can they go before it’s too late to turn back? Will they find a light at the end of the darkness and awake in Elysian Fields? Find out as this story of love and loss enfolds as the conclusion to the Hearts Drawn Wyld trilogy (Book 1, In Death We Part; Book 2, Running in the Mists).

I am so happy I was finally able to review this book, although I have finished reading it two days ago. So, there's definitely a huge evolution from book one, 'In Death We Part' and this third volume of the three book series. I loved the fact that i was able to travel around the world this way and also discover the main character's destiny. I am not usually a romance reader, but i found it fresh and overwhelming. I have felt things I haven't felt in a while and the promise of love.
