About this book

For centuries, Thanatos has been trapped in a heartbreaking cycle: he watches his soulmate, Anastasia, perish again and again, only to lose her to the cruel whims of the Fates. As the personification of death, he has spent lifetimes attempting to guide her toward a peaceful afterlife, but destiny always tears them apart. The agony of their eternal separation has finally pushed him to the brink of madness, leading to a desperate, forbidden choice.

If he cannot claim her in the afterlife, he will claim her in the mortal realm. Stepping out of his shadowed existence, Thanatos enters the world of the living to protect Anastasia from her own recklessness and the dangers that haunt her human life. This paranormal romance blends high-stakes Greek mythology with a slow-burn, fated-mates connection that defies the gods themselves.

Fans of witchy, supernatural narratives will be swept away by this epic journey of reincarnation and sacrifice. Anastasia and Thanatos’s chemistry is undeniable, fueled by a love that has spanned millennia and survived countless tragedies. With a perfect balance of humor, angst, and dark fantasy, this story is a must-read for anyone craving an intense, star-crossed romance that challenges the very rules of existence.

Anastasia and Thanatos’s romance has one obstacle after another thrown at. You just can’t help but to root for them to finally be together forever. Their journey to be together has all the feels, humor, and action that Megan Montero is known for and is so unbelievably good at. I highly recommend this book and all of The Royals series and can’t wait for the next one! )

I absolutely fell in love with the story of Thanatos and Anastasia—a romance that defies even the will of the Fates. Megan Montero masterfully blends her knowledge of Greek mythology with just the right touch of magic and humor, creating a story that keeps you hooked from beginning to end. As a longtime fan of her work, I couldn’t help but do a little happy dance when familiar characters made an appearance (Stabby, stabby 🗡️🗡️… if you know, you know!). Those moments added an extra layer of...

Wicked Death…what a ride!

Thanatos and Anastasia met the first time she was going to die. He fell in love with her and when she wasn’t to be sent to Elysian, he intercepted her soul and each time after he continued intercepting her at her death. He kept hoping she would live a life so they could be together for eternity, but she never remembers any past lives, nor that she needs to do something good in her life to end up in Elysian. This life she is a daredevil…mostly because each time she does something risky she sees...
