I was born to hunt the evils hiding in this world. To slay and destroy. My purpose was never supposed to be her. My forbidden soulmate. Protecting her was meant to be temporary—I’d stay close until I was certain she was safe, and then I would walk away. I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with her, and I sure as hell wasn’t supposed to take her to my bed. I’d heard my entire life that touching her would only bring us to our deaths. Except that with my mere touch, power flows through Aria in a way it never has before, and it’s becoming clear that our gods lied to keep us separated and weak.

Then Kira appears—this fearless, beautiful...human who braved death to rescue him. Though he burns for her, keeping Kira in his world means risking her life.

My life is a nightmare. I’m tormented by the evils I’ve seen, but still I hunt. Kill. My only comfort is Aria, my forbidden soulmate, whom I meet each night to fight an unseen war. When that war spills over and endangers her, there is nothing that can stop me from finding my love. Giving in to our blazing attraction could be the death of us, but with one brush of her hand, I’m willing to break every oath I’ve made. I’d burn the world to protect her from the evils that hunt us. Because for one moment of loving Aria? I would gladly give my life.

I won't keep letting that happen. No matter what it takes or who I have to turn to for help. They think Ryker is a monster, and maybe he is, but I'm not afraid of him.
