Arya was never meant to belong here. Cursed, hunted, and bound to a power that can raise the dead, she has spent her life running - from the enemies who want her destroyed, and from the truth of what she is. But secrets have a way of surfacing, and when her husband stumbles into her darkest power, the fragile peace they’ve built begins to unravel.

Karim thought marriage was routine until the night he learned his wife wasn’t just human. Now, as portals rip open and monsters spill across Earth, he finds himself standing on the front lines of a war he doesn’t understand - one he must survive if the world he knows is to remain standing.

But Arya’s battle is no less perilous. Dragged back toward the realm she’s tried to escape, she must face the demons of her past and the curse that has defined her existence. Victory means freedom. Failure means losing not just herself, but the family she’s finally begun to call her own.

As Earth teeters on the brink and old enemies rise from the shadows, husband and wife will have to fight two wars: one for the world’s survival, and one for their own souls.

Actually, I don't want to die alone. No one does. But, I've just got to pretend to be brave for the boys that may become future victims... and the people that care about me.


My shoulders are rigid, my posture stern - screaming that I should be avoided.


"You think you can handle me, don't you? No one has been so cocky and determined before. I'm curious as to where this would lead".


All the emotions that had eluded me earlier come swirling in - the fear, anxiety, guilt, sorrow, everything I couldn't feel earlier.


I hadn't come around to apologizing to Safari for trying to end her life so brutally.


How are they supposed to trust me if I can't even predict my next action?


Point of what? Madness? Insanity? Solitude?
