The only one who can save Sera now is the one she spent her life planning to kill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth about Sera\u2019s plan is out, shattering the fragile trust forged between her and
Nyktos. Surrounded by those distrustful of her, all Sera has is her duty. She will do
anything to end Kolis, the false King of Gods, and his tyrannical rule of Iliseeum, thus<\/p>\n\n\n\n

stopping the threat he poses to the mortal realm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nyktos has a plan, though, and as they work together, the last thing they need is the
undeniable, scorching passion that continues to ignite between them. Sera cannot
afford to fall for the tortured Primal, not when a life no longer bound to a destiny she
never wanted is more attainable than ever. But memories of their shared pleasure and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

unrivaled desire are a siren\u2019s call impossible to resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as Sera begins to realize that she wants to be more than a Consort in name only,
the danger surrounding them intensifies. The attacks on the Shadowlands are
increasing, and when Kolis summons them to Court, a whole new risk becomes
apparent. The Primal power of Life is growing inside her, pushing her closer to the end
of her Culling. And without Nyktos\u2019s love\u2014an emotion he\u2019s incapable of feeling\u2014she
won\u2019t survive her Ascension. That is if she even makes it to her Ascension and Kolis
doesn\u2019t get to her first. Because time is running out. For both her and the realms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXCERPT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapter One<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou are the heir to the lands and seas, skies and realms. A Queen instead of a
King. You are the Primal of Life,\u201d Nyktos\u2014the Asher, the One who is Blessed, the
Guardian of Souls and the Primal God of Common Men and Endings\u2014rasped. Those
lips of his that had whispered heated words against my skin and had also spoken cold,
brutal truths were now parted. Wide, silver eyes churning with streams of luminous
eather\u2014the essence of the gods\u2014fixed on mine. A sort of awe and wonder softened
the cold lines of his high, broad cheekbones, his blade-straight nose, and cut jaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wavy, reddish-brown hair fell against golden-bronze cheeks as he lowered himself to
one knee, placing his left hand flat on the throne room floor and his right palm over his
chest.
Nyktos was bowing to me.
I recoiled from him. \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d
\u201cThe Primal of Life is the most powerful being in all the realms, usurping all other
Primals and gods,\u201d Sir Holland said. Except he was no longer the man I once knew as a
knight of the Royal Guard of Lasania, or a mere mortal. He was one of the Arae\u2014an
actual, godsforsaken Fate, neither god nor mortal. Able to see the past, present, and
future of all, the Arae weren\u2019t beholden to any Primal Court.
Fates were as terrifying as any Primal, and I couldn\u2019t even begin to count how
many times I\u2019d kicked him.
\u201cHe is showing you the respect you are owed, Sera,\u201d Holland added as I
continued staring at Nyktos.
\u201cBut I\u2019m not the Primal of Life.\u201d I stated the obvious.
\u201cYou carry the only true embers of life inside you,\u201d Nyktos said, and that deep,
softly spoken voice sent a myriad of shivers over my skin. \u201cFor all intents and purposes,
you are the Primal of Life.\u201d
\u201cHe speaks the truth.\u201d The goddess Penellaphe drew closer, coming to stand
beneath the open ceiling. The star-strewn sky cast a soft glow over her warm, light
brown skin. \u201cDenying it isn\u2019t a luxury which can be afforded.\u201d
\u201cBut I\u2019m just a mortal\u2014\u201d My lungs felt as if they\u2019d been filled with tiny holes, and
Nyktos was still bowing to me. \u201cCan you please stand or sit? Anything other than kneel?
It\u2019s really weirding me out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nyktos\u2019s head tilted, sending several strands of hair against his cheek. \u201cYou are
the true Primal of Life, just as my father was. As Holland said, it\u2019s a show of respect.\u201d
\u201cBut I don\u2019t des\u2014\u201d I cut myself off, my heart thumping and chest squeezing. The
eather in his eyes stilled. \u201cCan you just not do that? Please.\u201d
The Primal rose quickly, the wisps of essence in his eyes brightening so vividly
they were almost painful to look upon. He towered over me, his stare seeming to peel
away the layers of my very being, seeing\u2026sensing what I felt.
I stiffened, my skin becoming hot and prickly. \u201cYou\u2019d better not be reading my
emotions.\u201d
Nyktos arched a dark brow. \u201cYour accusatory tone is unnecessary.\u201d
\u201cAnd your response wasn\u2019t a declaration of innocence,\u201d I retorted. Penellaphe\u2019s
eyes flared wide.
\u201cNo.\u201d His voice had dropped, but it still somehow thundered through me. \u201cIt was
not.\u201d \u201cThen don\u2019t do it,\u201d I snapped. \u201cIt\u2019s rude.\u201d
Nyktos\u2019s mouth opened, likely to point out that I was the last person who should
speak on rude behavior.
\u201cYou have never been just a mortal, Seraphena.\u201d Holland stepped in smoothly,
just as he\u2019d done dozens of times in the past whenever I\u2019d descended into a rant spiral.
\u201cYou are the possibility of a future for all.\u201d
He\u2019d said a version of that before during training, but it took on a whole different
meaning now. \u201cBut I haven\u2019t completed any Culling, and you just said that I would\u2026\u201d
Closing my eyes, I didn\u2019t finish the sentence.
Everyone here knew what had been said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breathe in. My mortal body and mind wouldn\u2019t be able to handle the power of the
embers once I began the Ascension. The only chance I had of surviving wasn\u2019t even a
hope. Hold. Because it required the blood of the Primal that one of the embers of life
belonged to\u2014that and sheer will powered by love.
The love of the Primal I\u2019d spent the entirety of my life planning to kill. It didn\u2019t
matter that I\u2019d believed it was the only way to save my kingdom.
The irony of it all made me want to laugh, except I was going to die. Likely in less
than five months and before I turned twenty-one, taking the last true embers of life with
me. The mortal realm would be hit first and the hardest. Eventually, the Rot would
spread beyond the Shadowlands to all of Iliseeum.
I exhaled long and slow, just like Holland had taught me many years ago, when
everything became too heavy, too much, and the weight of it all choked the air from me.
My impending death wasn\u2019t something new. I\u2019d always known. Whether I failed or
succeeded when it came to fulfilling my destiny, I knew I would die in the process.
But it felt different now.
I\u2019d finally had a taste of being something other than a means to an end, a
weapon to be used and then discarded. I\u2019d had a taste of realness. I\u2019d finally felt like a
fully formed person, not a specter soaked in blood. Not a liar and a monster who could
kill without all that much remorse.
But that was who I was underneath it all, and Nyktos now knew that, too. There
was no more hiding that truth\u2014or any truths.
My lungs started to burn as tiny bursts of light danced across my vision. The
breathing exercises weren\u2019t working. A tremor hit my hands, and panic unfurled in my
chest. There was no air\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fingertips touched my cheek. Warm fingertips. My eyes flew open, locking on
features so finely pieced together I should\u2019ve known the first time I saw him that he was
more than a god. His touch startled me, not only because it was warm instead of
shockingly cold as it had been before he took my blood into him, but because I still
wasn\u2019t used to touching. I wasn\u2019t sure I ever would be when it had always been so rare
that anyone allowed their skin to contact mine.
But he touched me. After everything, Nyktos touched me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
