About this book

Gabriel "Gabe" has ascended to the throne of the Demon Territory, inheriting power amidst whispers of treachery and dissent—a job he never wanted, and yet here he was. Doing it.

As he navigates the treacherous waters of politics, betrayal, and hidden agendas, a fiery, taboo love ignites within the worst possible time, from the worst possible place—a human whose loyalties lie with a rival faction of demons. A woman who is more ghost than reality-no name, no past, no way to find her.

Their undeniable chemistry clashes with the looming threat of Gabe losing the crown, his head, and the weight of duty to his people--all while he searches with his allies for another key to saving their realm.

Each stolen moment with this woman who consumes his every thought, he wrestles with desire for her, and the need to keep her away from those who would destroy him, and anyone he's tied to.

When dark secrets come to light, the question of loyalty arises—is she working against him to have his head on a pike?

In a world where trust is a luxury and danger lurks at every turn, some bonds are not meant to be broken.

Even if if possession of the one he wants will cost him everything.

LOVED IT

I love being back in this world! Already liked the new Demon in charge from meeting him in the previous story lines. Now it's his turn to find the key. He enlists the help of the Briar Queen as she is the on who sees everything, knows everyone, and can get information on all the Doves in the realm. What I didn’t expect was a copycat serial killer running wild through the middle of the story. An absolute must read, it's the perfect continuation in an epic world. )

Could not put it down!

It's always nice to be back in the Alpha Territories, and this time was no different! When I say I devoured this book, I am not exaggerating! I could not put it down and tore right through it. Two of my top favorite tropes were included: enemies to lovers and found family! Along with some other great tropes like forbidden love, forced proximity, secret identity, reluctant allies, and touch her and die. I'm enjoying watching this spark between Mari and Gabe. I absolutely can not wait for it to...

Must read

I've loved Gabe from the start, so getting him his own story with an epic HEA absolutely made my day. This one picks up with Gabe stepping into his own seat of power while hunting for the key, and the woman he meets along the way is no pushover. She has her own story, her own strength, and she isn't about to make things easy for him. Will they find their way to each other sooner rather than later? Here's hoping. )
