Book excerpt: Nine. She isn't known by a name, only by the number she was branded with at birth. Nine is now eighteen and as an Unfortunate, she'll be forced to serve under The Fortunates for as long as she lives. All her life, she's been force fed rules and regulations on how to serve those above her, but nothing prepares her for Master Kade...the Fortunate she is assigned to. His dark and protective nature compels her, creating thoughts in her mind that she'd be murdered for having if anyone ever found out. Her option? To fight. Fight hard against her forbidden thoughts and desires. It's the only way for her to survive in a world that doesn't want her. He wants his father dead. He wants power. He wants control... ....And he'll use me to get it. Kade Sario was supposed to vicious and cruel. He was supposed to be a monster, to hurt and chastise me for the smallest things... but he didn't. I didn't understand it... until I found out what he really wanted from me. He wants to use me. He wants to hold me high above the lion's den and wait for the strongest lion to offer him something he can use... He won't hurt me and he won't take from me, but he keeps me close... So close I can smell him on my skin even when I'm alone. Growing up it was ingrained in me that I do whatever I can to please my Fortunate. It was ingrained in me that I be loyal and faithful, and that I love my Fortunate more than I love myself. I expected that I'd want to please him. I expected that I would be loyal and faithful, just like I was taught... But I didn't expect to fall in love with him. Time is running out. Things are changing, the balance of power is shifting and if I'm going to survive in this world, I need Master Kade on my side...

Now this loose cannon is part of the Eternal Guardians­—elite warriors assigned to protect the human realm—whether he likes it or not. Orpheus has but one goal: to locate a magical medallion with supernatural powers. He’s just not expecting a woman to get in the way, especially not a Siren as gorgeous as Skyla. Unable to resist her, the two become unlikely allies. He simply has no idea she’s an assassin sent to seduce, entrap, then ultimately destroy him. Yet Skyla herself might have the most to lose. There’s a reason Orpheus feels so familiar, a reason her body seems to crave him. Perhaps he’s not the man everyone thinks… Then again…maybe he’s exactly that man.
