The Fountain of Youth was never a place. It was a girl. And Scarlet Singer is done bleeding for everyone else.
For lifetimes, Scarlet has been hunted, worshiped, imprisoned, killed, and reborn.
This time, she intends to be the last.
Scarlet chose Dagon.
Not because she forgot the monster he has been.
Because she finally started remembering everything everyone else had done.
With Dagon restored to his own body and Scarlet hidden from the Circle, the memories of her previous lives are returning faster than ever. Women who loved. Women who fought. Women who ran. Women who died.
And one who simply said no and lived.
Piece by piece, Scarlet begins uncovering the history buried beneath thousands of years of fear and manipulation. Dagon was her enemy in some lives, her protector in others, and the man she loved in more than she can count. The more Scarlet remembers, the less Dagon resembles the monster she was taught to fear. Instead, she begins to see the god who has spent lifetimes finding his way back to her.
But while Scarlet searches the past, Zig and Marcus are uncovering something even more dangerous.
The truth about the Circle.
Its magic was never freely given.
Fountains before Scarlet were imprisoned and bled for their power. Their lives were extended only so others could benefit from them. Histories were erased, and their bodies were used as tools.
And the magical world Scarlet once believed would protect her was built on their sacrifice.
Now the lies holding the Circle together are beginning to fracture.
Old gods are waking. Forgotten witches are choosing sides. Magic that existed long before the Circle is returning to the world. And the people who have controlled it for centuries will kill to keep their secrets buried.
Scarlet has spent lifetimes dying for everyone else.
Dagon has spent lifetimes losing her.
This time, neither of them is willing to accept the ending they were given.
Because if Scarlet wants to finally own her life, she may have to destroy the institution that turned her into the Fountain, end a cycle thousands of years old, and risk changing magic forever.
And if the world has to burn for her to be free?...
...Dagon has been waiting lifetimes to strike the match.
The Circle built its power on the lives of women like Scarlet. Scarlet intends to be the last one they ever take from.What I've Tasted of Desire is the explosive final book in the Fountain of Youth trilogy, a dark supernatural romantasy filled with ancient gods, reincarnated lovers, morally gray devotion, hidden magical history, blood magic, found family, betrayal, rebellion, forgotten gods, and a love story that has survived thousands of years, countless bodies, and more than one death.
Scarlet is not fighting to survive another lifetime.
She is fighting to make sure she never has to live one again.
This trilogy must be read in order.
