Publisher Description
The prophecies were there but no one listened. Until now. They are the Lords of Deliverance and they have the power to usher in Doomsday . . . or prevent it.
Sexy, powerful and immortal, Limos is on a crash course with destiny. She's been marked as Satan's bride and her jealous fiancé wants her all to himself. The only way this Horseman can keep herself - and everyone else - safe is to keep her distance. But not even Limos can save herself from the secrets she's kept . . . or resist the seductive allure of one very brave human. Arik Wagner knows the saying 'love hurts' better than most, yet he never thought stealing a kiss from Limos would land him in Hell. Literally. It takes all his military training to survive the demon torture, but once he's topside, Arik realises that the agony has just begun. With the Apocalypse looming and Satan demanding his bride, will Arik and Limos surrender to the desire smouldering between them? Or will giving in to their passion unleash hell on earth?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ione's second Lords of Deliverance paranormal (after Eternal Rider) provides a thrilling ride for readers. Limos, Satan's betrothed and daughter of the biblical Lilith, will become a horseman of the apocalypse if, like her brother Reseph (now known as Pestilence), her seal is found and broken. At the engagement party for Limos's brother Ares, Arik Wagner, a soldier for the U.S. army's R-X paranormal unit, steals a kiss from Limos and is dragged down to hell, where he's tortured until Limos helps rescue him. Their burgeoning relationship and attempts to end Pestilence's apocalyptic threat are impeded by the lingering effects of Arik's torture and personal demons, Limos's shame over long-held secrets and lies, and the fight against the forces arrayed against humanity. A secondary plot involving Limos's brother Thanatos adds more character torment while setting up the next installment. Ione balances all the angst with plenty of action, sexual tension, and dark humor.
