Taken

She will go dark from her curse.
He will go numb from his.
And falling for each other may be their only chance to survive.

Forged by trauma and cursed by the Fates, Layla swore she would never be powerless again. She trained herself to fight. To survive. To become more dangerous than anything that might come for her.

But when the prophecy tied to her blood awakens, the control she fought so hard to master begins to fracture. The gods want her dead, darkness is consuming her from within, and the skills meant to protect the people she loves are turning Layla into the greatest threat to them.

Thaull is running out of time too.

A deadly condition known as the soul-divide is tearing him apart, slowly stripping away everything he feels. If he can't stop it, he'll become an ice-cold killing machine. And there may be only one cure—the freely given love of the female destined for him.

When a premonition leads Thaull to a fierce demigoddess battling a darkness of her own, he gambles his existence on the possibility that Layla could save him.

But Layla has spent a lifetime learning never to put herself at another's mercy. And trusting Thaull may be the most dangerous thing she's ever done.
