Blood Reaches the Dark

A Novian has his eyes set on a woman with bewitching curves and a wicked mouth…

The only problem is that her maddeningly stubborn streak revives his primal instinct to possess her in all ways, and it seems humans don't particularly enjoy being controlled.

Lyra is surviving. Just. Surviving.

Her dreams and aspirations were left in the past, forgotten and abandoned in the wasteland that is now the world.

Now all she has is Alora, her best friend and only hobby. Taking care of her timid friend has gotten complicated, though, because witnessing a murder apparently leads to a heavy dose of PTSD, and Alora isn’t prepared to acknowledge her problem.

This means Lyra has to take matters into her own hands, which would be a piece of cake if she weren’t also battling her raging attraction to the demon who stalks her in the hallways of their underground home.

Famen hasn’t admitted the truth to anyone. And how could he, when he made such a fuss about the deprived humans in the beginning?

Now he’s in love with one. Bound to the soul only she carries.

His only issue is her attitude, and how in the world he’ll get around it when his own ego is a mile high.

Gifts? Conversation? Empathy? Tasting her?

Nothing seems to work like he expects, but he knows what she wants.

She’s revealed her true wish, one that lies just above the earth.

One he’ll retrieve for her even if the Queen forbids it.
