The Dark Between (The Dark Between Book 1)

Description

Lillis Blackburn is a necromancer- a witch bearing great and forbidden magick.

Ripped away from her childhood home and forced into the service of a powerful but insane mage, she was trained to serve in his secret organization of outlaws. Now a working member of The Order, Lillis performs dark magick for the most elite in all of the Kingdom – for a price.

Between paying off her debt to The Order, keeping her head low around the Kings’ Guard, and playing middleman in her team of outlaws harnessing unspeakable abilities, Lillis has nearly given up the dream of freedom. That is, until a haunting and devastatingly handsome face from the Netherworld visits her in the land of the living bringing with him a chance to escape her fate and seize control of her own destiny.

The Netherworld is in trouble. And so are the souls of the innocent. Grand Magistrate of Souls, Dovakinn Rianu, is tasked to be the final judge over mortals, deciding their ultimate fate. Paradise or damnation. That is… until one soul goes missing.

Then another.

In order to collect his souls and return proper balance between the realms, he’ll need the help of a necromancer, even if it brings her destruction. Lillis and Dovakinn – each out for their own benefit – must find a way to work together against a sinister threat intent on shattering the scales of the natural balance. But the closer they get to that threat, the more complicated the truth – and their relationship – becomes. They’ll have to choose between duty and desire.

Before darkness devours them both.
