Kindle Notes & Highlights
Book 2 Recap Layala was held for weeks by the evil King Tenebris and his minions, Mathekis, and the dragon shifter Varlett. Thane spent weeks recovering from nearly being killed by Varlett with the old mage Vesstan and Tifapine. After Layala tried to escape, King Tenebris placed her in a prison cart and they moved toward the Void to use her to bring back the Black Mage, the long-gone creator of the Void and the pale one curse.

“Thane does not want me anymore. I never fit in anywhere I go. Everyone hates me because I woke the Black Mage.” She swiped the angry tears spilling down her cheeks. “I was supposed to be their savior.” She lifted her chin and blinked the last of her tears away. “But I am no savior at all.”
His warm hands gripped her face and he said with a shaky voice, “Don’t you ever do that again. Not ever. Gods, you drive me insane.”
“Everything that is mine is now yours, love—my territory, my power, my heart, my body, my soul, yours forever,” and that deep, soothing, honey-rich voice wasn’t Thane’s. It was Hel’s.
“Don’t tempt me with that unless you mean it. If you think I’ll let you go back to him after I’ve been inside you, you’re fucking wrong.” One hand slid to her throat and his gentle touch was almost enough to make her lose it. “Once you give yourself to me, you’re fucking mine. There won’t be a choice.”
“I don’t blame you for falling for him. He’s easy to love. So, I will wait for you to find that he was best for Layala Lightbringer, but I am the only one for you, Valeen, goddess of night.”
