Eternally Entangled

3rd September 2024

​

He Could Overcome Any Obstacle—Except Her Family And The Fury Of Nature.

​

As a Nephilim, Doran’s lifespan is destined to reach 3000 years.  At only a little over 450 years, he has navigated life thus far as a Wildling – the perfect blend of a cunning spy, skilled diplomat and ruthless hunter. However, no amount of experience could have prepared him for life with his predestined Mate, Zoe, a spirited human druid. When Doran joins Zoe for a weekend at her family’s home in Far North Queensland, he steps into a realm where nature is as wild and untamed as its inhabitants.

​

Zoe’s family is a unique mix of magic and mundane, whom she affectionately refers to as “bogans”, an unfamiliar term that has Doran baffled, until he experiences their unconventional lifestyle firsthand. Gaining acceptance from most of her family proves easy. Yet, despite his well-honed people skills, Doran fails to win over Zoe’s staunchly gruff father, who views their vastly different lifespans as an unbridgeable chasm.

​

An unexpected visit by Zoe's enigmatic aunt sets off a chain reaction of awkward encounters and concealed truths. Doran stumbles through a minefield of human connections, frequently landing himself in absurdly comical misadventures that highlight the stark contrast between his refined nature and the family's delightfully chaotic way of life.

​

Just when it seems the weekend couldn’t get any worse, a deadly storm bears down on the coastal town. Amid the chaos of nature’s fury, Doran must summon every ounce of his Nephilim skill to save his Mate…and hopefully earn her father’s approval.

​

Eternally Entangled is a race against time and seemingly insurmountable obstacles between worlds, intertwining magic, heart-pumping adventure, danger, and passionate devotion into a story as wild and unpredictable as Queensland’s shores, proving that love can conquer even the most formidable forces.
