About

Nyxian is a jealous reaper-cold, cruel, and utterly unyielding.
He has spent centuries taking souls without hesitation, answering to no one and belonging to no one. Mercy is a weakness he has never understood, and love is a concept he has never needed.
Until Wynne.
When a tragedy leaves Wynne clinging to life, Nyxian makes a bargain that should never have been possible. He saves her from death-but the price isn't money, blood, or a soul.
It's her.
Bound by a dark claim neither of them fully understands, Wynne awakens to discover that death is no longer the worst thing that could have happened to her. She is tethered to a reaper who sees her as his, and Nyxian has no intention of letting anyone-or anything-take what he claimed.
Wynne refuses to be possessed.
Fiery, defiant, and determined to control her own fate, she fights him at every turn. But the deeper she is pulled into Nyxian's world, the harder it becomes to tell where hatred ends and something far more dangerous begins.
Because Nyxian isn't simply a monster lurking in the shadows.
He is powerful. He is feared. And there are forces in the Underworld that would kill to see him fall.
As enemies close in and an ancient conflict threatens to tear the Underworld apart, Wynne finds herself caught in a war she never asked for. The bond tying her to Nyxian may be the only thing keeping her alive-but it is also changing her in ways she can't explain.
And Nyxian is changing too.
The more he wants her, the more ruthless he becomes. The more Wynne fights him, the harder he holds on. What begins as a battle of wills slowly twists into a hunger neither of them can deny.
But in Nyxian's world, love isn't salvation.
It's a weapon.
And when fate demands an innocent sacrifice, Wynne is forced to face the one choice she never imagined she'd have to make: fight for the life she once knew, or surrender to the reaper who saved her life-even if loving him means losing herself in the process.
He saved her life.
Now he'll ruin everything to keep her.
Some bargains save you from death. Others bind you to something far worse.
