Fate brought them together. Fear tore them apart. Now, he’ll burn the world to bring her home.

Tara has always known that Nikolaos is her fated mate. She’s felt the bond since childhood—a thread connecting them, growing stronger as she came of age. But instead of claiming her, Nik pushed her away, insisting she needed time to grow, to live, to experience life without the weight of their supernatural connection.

Now, she’s done waiting. Determined to prove she’s ready for the love they were destined for, Tara throws herself into the world—only for it to crumble in an instant.

A cryptic text.

A meeting that doesn’t exist.

A sharp prick in her neck.

And then—darkness.

Nikolaos feels the mate bond snap like a noose around his throat. One second, Tara is there—a constant hum in his soul. The next, she’s gone. Not dead, but severed from him in a way that shouldn’t be possible. The pain is unbearable, a nightmare he swore he’d never endure again. He thought pushing her away would protect her, but now, she’s lost—and he’ll tear the world apart to get her back.

But Tara isn’t waiting to be saved.

Trapped on a ship with other captive demigod women, she refuses to break. Their captors think they can twist fate, force devotion, and mold them into something they are not. They think they can win.

But Tara is no pawn. She is wild, untamed, and ready to bring them to their knees.

Nik will find her, no matter the cost. And when he does, there will be no more distance, no more waiting. Because this time, he won’t let her go.

That is… if she can forgive him once she learns all of his secrets.

This is a spicy, fated mates fantasy romance featuring a protective minotaur shifter hero, a strong-willed demigoddess heroine, and an action-packed adventure filled with mythology, passion, and destiny. Perfect for fans of dark paranormal romance and Kindle Unlimited fantasy romance!
