"A dove has great beauty but is easily broken."
Ilsa/Maddie
Ilsa has been running and hiding from her abusive husband for years, but he has finally found her. While he is doling out her punishment for running from him, someone who looks exactly like her husband and a witch save her. She blacks out in a sea of green mist.
Apollo
Apollo has been living in grief for years after his wife died leaving him and his two children. He discovered that his wife has a twin in another world and with the help of a witch, has found her. He wants her brought to this world to be with him. He knows that she may look like his wife, but she definitely is not his wife, she is so much more.
"You should feel no guilt for this love you hold for her, this love that builds beyond imagining. It does not reflect on the love you had before. Love like you build with Miss Madeleine is as she is. It is not of this world. Not of her world. It is beyond the worlds. It is beyond anything."
Apollo and Maddie both have to get past the outside appearances of each other. She is his dead wife's twin and he is her abusive husband's twin. She doesn't want to cause him pain or anyone who loved the other Ilsa pain when they look at her.
"I tell you now, my poppy, for years, I never thought I would again be happy. Never again. So I never imagined I could be happier."
While Apollo and Maddie are discovering a new love stronger than they have ever felt, danger is waiting to destroy them. Witches who want absolute power of this fantastical world will stop at nothing to tear them apart because they know there is no stronger magic than love.
"Tonight we learned we must hold tight to happiness, my dove. Every day...every moment...is a gift. We must hold tight to that, Madeleine, and never let go."
