He’s a Reaper. Monster. Savage. Brute. Nightmare. But he’s also one other thing… My mate. If the Reapers chase your ship, it’s better you die. Because if you fall into their hands, your life is hell. They’ll chain you. Lash you. They’ll separate you from your friends and family. You’ll be frightened and alone. In all this darkness comes my story. How he captured my ship. Killed everyone before he found me. And when he did, he called me his jalshagar. He said I was his fated mate. It was my destiny to stand with him as he conquered and killed. To be at his feet as he claimed victory. To stand at his side as others fell to their knees. I’ve watched him kill in my name. His hands have been bloodied so that I may be safe. I’ve become his pet. His plaything. His confidante. And now…his partner. Because this evil nightmare of a man has become the love of my life. And I don’t know much, but I know this. He may kill with his sword. But only I can wipe it clean. Monster explores a much darker and grittier side of the Athenaverse. It can be read as a standalone, but it still shares the same universe that you’ve found in other books. Themes in this book should be approached with caution.
