About this book
A stand-alone story in the Shadow Beast Shifters world. Best listened to after Reborn for storyline continuity.
Melalekin "Angel" of the Honor Meadows has been a warrior her entire life. Battle. Death. Loss. They were her constant companions until the day she met Mera Callahan. A shifter who ended up being so much more. A shifter who changed her life, and now...she has been reborn. The scars of her past are gone. Her losses muted under the new life she plans on living.
There's just one being standing in her way. A grudge holding desert deity who has made an art form out of making her life hell.
Reece of the Desert Lands is a god unused to being defied, and he has a very long memory when it comes to those who wronged him. Angel is the one he blames for the worst loss in his life, and he'll never let her forget it. Their history is tragic and bloodied, and the pair is set to clash one more time, especially when they end up trapped in the very spot where they lost it all. A meeting of the dynasties in the Delfora, the ancient desert lands, will force them to the place it all began.
Here they will learn that sometimes the past defines your future. And that there is a fine line between love and hate.
Note: This is a stand-alone in the Shadow Beast world and does not end on a cliff-hanger. It is full-length, and it is advised to listen to the first three in the Shadow Beast Shifters series first (Rejected, Reclaimed, Reborn). This is an enemies-to-lovers story, with action, snark, antiheroes, and steam. It is recommended for 18+ due to storyline and situations.

Warning: Do not read this book with any distractions around. You will find ourself snapping at others. You Been Warned. But let's get into it because, OMG you guys are in for a treat.

Another gem from the Beast Shifters saga. This book follows the story of Angel and Reece. A complex story of unresolved issues and grudges forged over hundreds of years. But Angel is no longer the same, because of her rebirth, she shares new and different energy from the nexus. The energy that she must learn to calm and understand. Angel, at last, feels alive again and that is full of fun challenges. We see our usual beloved characters at another point in their lives. The whole gang is immersed...

I've been reading Jaymins books for years now and I truly believe this is one of her best series. She's already been an amazing writer but there's something about this world and characters that is so grounded in reality that you feel and live through everything together. I know it's a fantasy world but these characters are written as real people. Jaymin doesn't sugar coat anything. She brings those hard and ugly emotions right out into the open in such a way that you can't help getting sucked...
