He was a god walking among the ordinary folk, the boot to the ant, the perfect predator, and everyone else less than prey. It was obvious he was used to letting those surrounding him experience how abundantly inferior they were compared to him."
An ordinary small-town woman who hates being caged, a murderous soldier with an overprotective streak, a chosen family that is more dysfunctional than it meets the eye—and a plethora of broken promises. Even if their mission isn’t shrouded in mystery anymore—the circumstances are dire, and when the worlds are on the line, every wrong move could result in absolute failure.
After months of keeping my mouth shut, my biggest secrets are out of the bag. And, of course, the tiny female I’d grown close to couldn’t deal with the truth, ran away and left me to die. Yes, me—as unbelievable as it sounds.
Admittedly, not only Nayana but also a little mishap, including a library and a wayward book, is to blame that she has been kidnapped by a man who wants to see her dead. But she’s in luck—since I need her alive even more than he desires revenge, I’ll have her back in no time, without a doubt.
Doesn’t matter that my magic has been hiding from me ever since my past kicked me where it hurt the most, or that the grandfather I loathed more than Thain was breathing down my neck.
Ivreia has to face the fact that as long as my woman won’t return to my side, the entire world will run red with rivers of blood. Nobody or nothing will stop me—neither my comrades nor my rather frail disposition, and most definitely not the high and mighty tyrant who believes he controls my every move.
