The Forbidden Flame

An immortal warrior cursed with protecting all life in the magical realms.
A human woman unaware that she holds the key to saving his soul from darkness.
A ruthless enemy determined to invade all of Lunaterra and fulfill a centuries old curse.

All she wanted was a weekend of fun and excitement, two days away from the brutal orphanage where she is forced to work sunrise through moonset. Abandoned on the steps of the Capital when she was a baby, Cleo Rathmore has no idea where she came from or why her parents left an infant in a basket without even leaving a note. The capital’s royal wedding and tournament seems like the perfect opportunity to spread her wings and, perhaps, escape the maniacal control of her elders–and an arranged marriage to a Death Mage, a horrid, terrifying Revenant. As far as she’s concerned, kissing an Orc would be better. Accepting the match to a mage from The Spire would be a fate worst then death.

Death Mage Devin Grimm traveled to the capital in search of a miracle. He has fought evil for centuries and his soul is paying the ultimate price. A powerful necromancer in the capital is his only hope until he sees her, a human female who is more than she seems, but is promised to another of his kind. Worse, she vows she will have an Orc, a bloodsucking vampire, or even a stinky, hairy werewolf shifter before she accepts one of his kind.

She’s adamant. She doesn’t even like him. Sure, he’s sexy, in that blue haired, scary, death mage kind of way. But he freaking kidnapped her and insists she’s a liar. So why can’t she resist his touch? Why does every kiss make her burn with a forbidden flame? She’s a nobody, an orphaned human. He’s a cursed, merciless warrior on the brink of death. So why does evil stalk them as if together, they are a powerful threat? And why does her foolish heart insist she sacrifice absolutely anything, even her life, to save him?
