A badass soul collector. A haunted soul. An evil haunting them all. Zane When I launched the knife to stop the warlock aiding the enemy's escape, it took me a moment too long to realize the man I'd killed was my mate. When I met Wren again in Otherworld and he thanked me for killing him, I realized how deep his pain ran. I'd never been the kind of person someone went to for comfort, but could I be that for my mate without messing everything up? Wren The day a warrior with beautiful gray-green eyes stuck a knife in my neck was the best day of my life. Until I realized my beautiful savior was my mate. Unable to speak without having a panic attack, Zane's care and accommodation of my limitations left me in awe. Between texting and sharing notes, I found myself letting my guard down around them. But with my past haunting me at every turn, could I be the mate Zane deserved? Tags: Zane is a BAMF, but secretly a softie, goes by they/them, identifies as agender. Zane's gender identity is BAMF, honestly. Wren is a sweetie hiding lots of pain, Not-really-but-kind-of dead mate, second life, ex-vampires are a thing, Zane is really good with knives, like really good, Wren is a cinnamon-roll, Zane ISN'T, selective mutism, Damien is not very kingly, horrible exes, past abuse, low heat, Zane is kind of a therapist, but only to criminals. Zane, the second book in the Lords of Otherworld series, features a badass agender soul collector, a haunted soul who wants to heal, and a romance that starts with one of them killing, and thereby saving, the other. Each book in the Lords of Otherworld series features a different couple with an overarching plotline. Each book ends in an HEA for the couple, but it is recommended to read the books in order for the most enjoyment. Please check the copyright page for trigger warnings.
