I've fallen for a monster. A man who doesn't ask for what he wants—he takes. And now, he's taken me. Rowan Miller isn’t who I thought he was.

But staying with Nero means diving headfirst into the perilous underworld of New York—a place I’m ill-equipped to navigate.

As a warrior princess, Reyna Darragh has always preferred the blade to boring courtly politics. Swords are fun. Intrigue isn't. But with every kingdom in Tir Na Nog poised for battle, she fears this might be the war that ends them all. Torn from Lorcan's side, she seeks a way back to him, but hundreds of warships stand in her way, as does her cruel deal with Seelie. They can never be together, not while her world-shattering power storms through her veins.

Five years ago, a phone call forever changed my life as I listened to my wife being murdered half a world away. Going rogue from the CIA, I became a man feared by everyone as I sought vengeance. Lies she’d told and secrets she’d kept, pushed me over an even darker edge. With nothing to lose, I became unstoppable. A devil among men. Until justice was served, or so I’d thought it’d been . . . Working alongside a team of veterans, trying to find my way back to the man I’d once been, another life-altering call came, drawing me back to the dark world I’d left behind.

A Guild of Criminals. A Guild of Heroes. One Holy Weapon. A book made entirely by rolling the dice.

A promise is as deadly as a sword. Once a Shieldmaiden for her beloved kingdom, now Princess Reyna Darragh is nothing more than a captive of the exiled Shadow Court. The shadow fae believe in strange visions that foretell the upcoming war. If Reyna helps them, they will win. If she refuses, their realm will fall. The High King gives her an ultimatum. She must become his warrior, or he will kill Princess Eislyn. Reyna has no choice but to kneel to the cruel king. She would do anything to save her sister, even fight by the side of her former lover. The one who betrayed her.

Love. When mutual, it's Heaven on Earth. When one-sided, it can tear you apart. There is no greater weapon than the heartsick soul. That is the power I wield, for I am the God of Love. No one has power like me. No one can poison a heart and pollute a mind the way I can. That is why the gods kicked me out. That is why they made me fall. But then a door appears on the side of my hill. The opportunity to ruin kings and destroy gods is mine once more. I can crush the whole wicked world if I can just get back the power I lost. But this magic of mine requires sacrifice.

Reyna Darragh despises the scheming ways of the fae courts—she'd rather be on the battlefield. But as the daughter of a High King, her hand in marriage can end the war faster than her sword. So, with her realm in tatters, she agrees to marry her enemy, Prince Thane. The very same prince who killed hundreds of her kind during the war. Reyna has a far greater scheme in mind. To save her kingdom from the vicious prince, she plans to marry him, make him king, and then murder him so that she can take the throne herself. But as she grows closer to securing the crown, traitorous desire stirs.
