About this book

My power, her death…

For centuries I have loved her. For centuries I have lost her. There is no stopping death. . . no stopping me. The fates would call and I would answer. Try as I might to fight it there is no stopping the cycle. Through a thousand lifetimes I have tried and failed to lead her to an afterlife in Elysium. An afterlife where I might join her for eternity. But the fates have been cruel and I have lost all hope for an eternity with my love, Anastasia.

She was hell bent on taking her fragile mortal life to the very edge of death. I’d been forced to watch her take one risk after another in search of what made her whole, in search of me. The agony of loss was driving us both to madness. If I couldn’t have her in death then I would take her in life. It’s up to me now to step out of a world of death and into a new mortal life… with her.

This is a fantastic read!

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! )

Amazing

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...
