Someone has taken Briar’s most valuable belonging: the Abydos, ancient blood that in the wrong hands can destroy the world. Briar and Angel race to get it back, but a dangerous creature leads them on a hunt that nearly gets them killed.
Through it all, Angel tries desperately to get Briar to feel what he’s always known to be true: they are soul mates. But Briar’s heart is too battered and bruised to feel the truth.
If Briar can't reconcile her feelings for Angel, she won't just lose the Abydos but something far more valuable: true love.
Born at the stroke of midnight, Raven Steele grew up in a home bordering a graveyard as old as time. Ghosts became her only friends and whispered tales of a world that existed between night and day. In this place, monsters roamed the lands, magic curled in the wind, and good and evil fought over the hearts and minds of humans. Desperate to not let those dark and brave creatures be forgotten, Raven wrote down the words of the ghosts, knowing their stories of triumph and sorrow would give strength and comfort to those in our world.
And so, when the sun sets, Raven retreats to the cemetery at the edge of the woods, where she sits and listens to the dead speak their tales of Rouen and all of its inhabitants. Because one day, our two worlds may collide, and when they do, we must be ready. For when their darkness bleeds into ours, we will be fighting for more than our lives. We will be battling for our souls.
Raven Steele is a pen name for USA Today's bestselling author Rachel McClellan.
Ava Mason writes the kind of books your mother warned you about—where dangerous men don’t ask, they take. Her worlds bleed heat, hunger, and high stakes, tangled with possessive alphas who'd raze kingdoms to claim what’s theirs. From brutal demon realms to seductive shifter packs, her stories are raw, addictive, and anything but sweet. This isn’t a love story. It’s an obsession.
