Description
It began with a blood oath.
It ended in bloodshed.
When twenty-one-year-old Lyric is told by her father, Gabrian, she will be crossing into the Otherland as payment for a favor he owes the Shadow Lord, she thinks her life is over. In truth, it is just beginning. Years of training as a soldier and an uncanny ability to learn pretty much anything give Lyric the tools she needs to survive her new reality—and it totally helps that her new lord and master is sex incarnate.
Draven has long awaited Lyric’s arrival, and not just because he needs her to track a powerful weapon stolen by an unknown adversary. He believes he has everything firmly in hand, despite the subterfuge he foolishly agreed to some twenty years back. When Draven’s enemies and lies of omission both threaten the fragile bond he and Lyric are forming, he refuses to allow anything to stand in the way, not even the razor-sharp blade of Lyric’s favorite sword.
WARNING: This novel contains tons of bad language, the occasional smackdown, and a good deal of inappropriate humor--sometimes all at once.
Advance Praise
"I'm struggling to find the right words for this book and I'm afraid nothing I could come up with will reflect the pure awesomeness of it. Lyric is a kickass heroine, with parts in her upbringing that made me cry. Draven is ... no words available at the moment to describe his perfection." -Mihaela C.
"Oh, mah gawd! I absolutely adored this book! I seriously did not put it down until it was finished. I was completely captivated from the start and never once lost interest. Not even a little. ... Lovers of weirdos who embrace their oddities are sure to enjoy this captivating read set briefly on Earth and then largely within a demon realm. If you aren’t a big fan of fantasy, this just may be the author to bring you over to the dark side. And all my fellow people of snark – you know who you are – you will easily immerse yourself into this sexy romance with little to no effort. One thing I can guarantee – if this writing style is typical for Ms. Worley, I will remain a fan forever." -Kendra E.
"This book was amazing. It was fun and witty, while also being intense and emotional. I loved the characters in this book and the world building was interesting, a different spin on demon lore. I could not put this book down once I started reading and it was a very late night, or I should say early morning before I went to bed." -Rachel K.
"This is the second book I have read by this author and this one was again a five star read for me." -Rebecca S.
