Description
She came to Bon Temps for a fresh start... but darkness has been waiting. Athena James thought she was just another woman trying to escape a painful past when she moved to the small, strange town of Bon Temps. But everything changes when she meets Sookie Stackhouse, begins working at Merlotte's, and catches the eye of the enigmatic vampire sheriff, Eric Northman. As her connection with Eric deepens-haunted by vivid dreams and a powerful bond-Athena starts to unravel the truth: she's not human. She's Fae. Not only that... she's Sookie's half-sister. A forgotten child abandoned at birth because of the dangerous darkness within her. What begins as a slow-burning attraction soon spirals into chaos. Secrets are revealed. Blood is spilled. And something ancient awakens inside Athena-something twisted, powerful, and nearly uncontrollable. In a world where vampires, witches, and Fae collide, Athena must face the truth of who she is... and what she's becoming. But when the darkness takes over, who will survive the storm-and who will be left behind? Dark. Addictive. Unforgettable. Step into the first book of a supernatural saga where passion burns, blood binds, and not even love can save her from herself.
