A mysterious note sent Sasha to the one place she vowed hundreds of years ago never to return to.

She never expected to encounter her mate.

The mate who had been held prisoner and tortured by one of the High Generals of The Underworld for thousands of years.

The mate who was one of the four brothers that the entire demon race seems to have forgotten.

The problem was that Varos didnt look at her like she was his fated mate.

No, the only way she could describe the way he looked at her is with utter hatred and repulsion.

She couldnt even blame him for feeling that way since it was her father, the High General, who sent her running all those years ago.

If they managed to survive their escape through The Underworld, Sasha swore to herself that she would deliver Varos to his brothers and never bother him again. No matter how much she had grown to love him.

Kallista had always known she was different.

The shadows had always called to her.

She craved to be held safe in their cool depths.

To escape her parent's methods of attempting to rid her of her demons.

Valen was destruction.

Everything he touched crumbled.

Everywhere he went, pain followed.

He learned a millennia ago that being alone was the only way to keep the world safe.

When the marks that had shown on Valen's wrist years ago suddenly changed,

he realized that there was more to his world than he knew.

A woman called to the deepest parts him.

For the first time in his very long life, he was going to give in to his instincts.

He would just have to protect her from the destruction that followed him.
