Deep in the caves of rural
Western Germany, the truth about immortality has remained a secret for
centuries, but now that secret is about to break free...
Ethan West knows what it means to
be different. With a haunted past and a strange sixth sense he sometimes can’t
control, Ethan’s in search of a better future. Instead, he’s brutally attacked.
Narrowly saved by the beautiful and mysterious Rue, Ethan quickly learns the
world is darker and more bizarre than he had ever imagined. And sparing his
life comes with a price: being reborn immortal. Now, a dark faction of ancient,
cursed immortal beings known as Lorns are after him. And they want his rare,
newly awakened soul.
Descended from the mythological
Nephilim, Lorns are bound by either the divine force of order or the mortal
force of chaos. Ethan is a rarity, bound by neither, yet he is ruled by both.
Now, wielding an ancient and volatile power, Rue and her Alliance work to keep
Ethan from spiraling out of control. At the heart of a terrifying underground
war between Lorns, Ethan becomes the target of one side and a savior to the
other. Amid everything, Ethan struggles to understand his own purpose and
power—an ordeal that tests his loyalties, beliefs, and sanity in ways
unimaginable. And the greatest danger is yet to come.

Excerpt
Now or
never.
Using all
the strength she still had within her, Victoria reared back and rammed her
shoulder into Tristan’s chest, shoving him back off the small bed. As he fell
back, she leapt up, her weak but determined feet hitting the cold stone ground.
Stumbling forward, Victoria almost fell but corrected herself and managed to
make it to the door, which she hastily unbolted, and ran out.
Tristan
stood and dusted off the pant legs of his slacks then gave a sigh. “What a
naughty little girl,” he said and strolled out the door after her.
Victoria
was frantic as she ran down one corridor then another before reaching a short
flight of stairs. She hurried up them two at a time until she found herself in
another darkened room. She dashed through the space, searching for the exit. At
last, she saw a thin slip of light beneath the doorway at the end of another
hall. She increased her speed, pushing through it and out into the bright, hot
light of late day. Spread out before her was the expanse of golden wheat fields
as far as the eye could see. She looked around and around but only saw fields
for miles in every direction.
“Where am
I?” she said to herself, realizing she was no longer in Switzerland.
“I’ve
just acquired this place,” Tristan said, standing back in the doorway to the
desolate, oversized farm house. “Quite a find. It came ‘as is,’ and I can’t
wait to improve it.”
Victoria
spun around, taking in the whole of the house and the land surrounding it. “Why
have you taken me here? And what did you do to me?” she asked again.
“As I’ve
said before, you belong to me now. So, you go where I deem you fit to be.”
“No,” she
retorted.
“Yes,”
Tristan countered. “Soon, you will transition into my faithful Lorn, and in
time, you will see everything in a much clearer light.”
