Synopsis
Mena Constantine is pissed
off.
Finally freed from her fifty-year
imprisonment by a maniacal leader, she is desperately trying to recover and get
her life back. Problem is, the life she had is long gone. Struggling under the
weight of her memories and healing from the wounds of her captivity, she can't
seem to catch a break. Every waking moment, death seems like a relief she would
welcome.
Asher Crane is a dead
man.
As a Guardian to the King, his only
purpose in life is to keep the King alive. And he's failing. Miserably. With the King
ill, the Queen dying, and zero plans for a successor, he's pretty much screwed.
Because if the King dies, the law says Asher dies, too.
As these two
wounded souls collide in a series of bloody and unfortunate events, they will
clutch to the last shreds of life before death beats down their
door.

Mena
He’s not going to explain a freaking thing to
me, I think as his mouth settles into a firm line. Asher’s eyes appear half
pissed off and half sad. He looks like he’s struggling with something, but he’s not
saying anything. I haven’t spent that much time with Asher, but I can tell getting
words out of him will take some engine grease and possibly a crowbar.
I think
I’d rather skip the part where he has to let me down
slow.
“Okay.
We’ll talk about it later,” I concede with a shrug and shake of my head.
In the
grand scheme of things, I have a pretty good idea of what he’ll say. I mean,
honestly? Who would pick a girl like me? I’m not sure how this whole Wraith
mating stuff goes, but if the man has a choice, he has to prefer a better crop than
me.
I don’t
need to be worrying about this now anyway. So what if I felt a connection to the
first man probably ever? So what if I clung to him like a monkey on a tree? So
what if I feel safe with him, a feeling I haven’t had in a very long time? So freaking
what? I don’t deserve a man like him. After the lives I’ve taken... happiness just
isn’t in the cards for me.
“I'm all
right. It’s not going to hurt. I didn’t even notice it was dislocated before now. It’ll
get popped back in, I’ll be able to heal and walk. Win-win. You can go. I’ll be fine,”
I tell him, my voice sounding almost dead even to my ears. I need to cut this off as
soon as possible. His face tells me he is reluctant, but he needs to
go.
“Come
on Asher,” Evan says at his elbow, and she escorts him from the room, practically
dragging him behind her up the stairs.
My eyes
are on the stairs long after he disappears from my sight. In those moments, I take
the time to shore up my heart. I don’t need to rely on Asher. I shouldn’t even rely
on Aurelia or Rhys or prey on the hospitality of the
Wraiths.
I should
do the right thing. For once, I should do what I’ve always needed to do. But I need
to be able to walk to do it.
