Summary from Goodreads:
Ward de'Ath should be dead by now. Instead, he's chasing after a soul-eating creature-that he unleashed- and is bent on stopping her before she slaughters more innocents. Fortunately, Celia Carlyle remains by his side, a nobleman's gorgeous and deadly daughter, who is…well, dead.
Celia claims she'll champion Ward wherever he goes, even when she thinks his quest is hopeless. He can only hope her pledge comes from her heart, and not because she's bound to him through his magic.
When they enter Dulthyne, they stumble upon a dark power that threatens the entire town. Ward, with his unreliable necromancy, is determined to help but finds himself ensnared in the lure of white-hot magic…blood magic he struggles to resist. But if Celia's love is a lie, it might just doom his soul to the dark arts forever.

Excerpt:
BA yell shattered the quiet, echoing off the hard granite walls.
Ward jumped, his heart racing. He ground his teeth and forced himself to look ready and dangerous like Celia and Nazarius.
Nazarius jerked his chin toward the passage before them. "Up the ramp."
Frozen by another yell, Celia glanced at Ward, a question in her expression hanging on the edge of her parted lips. Was she asking his permission? Probably just confirming what she already knew: if someone was in trouble, Ward would assist if he could.
The urge to go and help pulled at him.
No. Not this time. He had to stop Allette and not get caught up in someone else's problems. He could, in the very least, learn from his mistakes.
But Celia's frowned deepened. Another cry ricocheted around them and then another. The sound filled the passage, turning into a roar of angry voices. "We can't take a chance on this not being Allette's doing."
"You know running headlong into trouble isn't usually the best idea," Nazarius said.
Ward snorted. "You think?"
But it does make life more exciting." Celia flash them a fierce grin and rushed up the ramp.
Nazarius barked a quick laugh and raced after her.
This was a really, really bad idea, but if it was Allette, they would need all the help they could get. Goddess above, she couldn't be allowed to commit any more murders.

About the Author
I have always been drawn to story telling. In fact, I can't remember a time when I wasn't telling a story in my head or on paper. In grade school, we had journal writing time which I turned into story telling time, weaving tales of magic and adventure that mimicked the fairy tales and myths that I loved to read. It was there, with the help of two very special teachers, that I nurtured this love and started my journey as a writer.
I write fantasy, paranormal romance, and everything in between, seasoned with a good dash of adventure and mystery. Join me on my tales of magic, adventure, and romance.
