This book talks about rape in some detail, but not descriptive. Nonconsensual sex is spoken of as is some bondage situations. Nakaka or gargoyles to many were created by two gods to protect humans. When the humans betray them the Nakaka flee and anger the gods. As punishment, the Nakaka have never found another mate and therefore they can no longer reproduce any of their kind. It has taken over two hundred years, but finally there is one of the gods creation that proves their worthiness to have all Nakaka forgiven, but there is a catch. Petree offers his life for those being held prisoner with him willing to endure anything in order to keep them safe as well as a secret he holds. When death is emanate, he is surprised to come face to face with his creators. Now he has a choice to make, go to the ever after or return to the living with torturous memories he must relive every day and without his beautiful butterfly wings that define all Nakaka. If life is chosen his people can find their one true love once more, creating offspring and begin building his people back to what they use to be. Hron is the new chosen leader for a once tortured clutch, surprised to find not just his mate lying on a dirty floor dying, but Petree also holds information that can save them all from a ruthless plan no one saw coming. Can Hron save his mate and figure out what danger his people are in before it’s too late?

No. No way in hell was Spencer going to accept a mating just because he was pregnant. It didn’t matter if the fates said the ancient guard, Throg, was his. The gargoyle didn’t want him before the baby so no way would Spencer want him now...even if someone was trying to kill him. Throg, however, refused to just let his mate go. He would not just keep him alive, he would make him his...soon.
