Blackened: Seeds and Shadows Book 2

The stronger their spells, the better they taste.Benton won’t survive much longer in the Lord of Ashmore’s body. Not as him. He’ll become a soulless, indiscriminate predator if he can’t escape the relentless ache to suck the spells out of people. Never mind that the old lorkai’s intrusive memories have him staring at Dagmar with another type of hunger. And Sarlona can’t keep sacrificing her strength to prevent him from losing control while she suffers the same thirst.Unfortunately, the spells to retrieve his body from the Abyss and restore Sarlona’s humanity require dangerous, sacrificial magic only sinister sorcerers dare wield. Casters who demand blood and deadly tasks as payment. Worse, yanking Benton’s body from the watery hell could dredge a little of the Abyssal Lord up with it—a dark god eager to get his tendrils on Sarlona. And he’s not the only one plotting to use her power… Benton would risk anything to be human again—anything but her.~*~Blackened is the second book in the Seeds and Shadows trilogy, a romantic dark fantasy series featuring spell-sucking monsters, dark magic, armed scoundrels, and romance that’s more spicy than sweet.Like the first book, this story is for readers who think fires burn hottest between enemies and brightest in the shadows. Blackened is darker and dirtier than Drained.See kwbernard.com for content warnings.
