A badass soul collector. A haunted soul. An evil haunting them all. Zane: When I launched the knife to stop the warlock aiding the enemy's escape, it took me a moment too long to realize the man I'd killed was my mate. When I met Wren again in Otherworld and he thanked me for killing him, I realized my hasty action had turned out to be his salvation. I'd never been the kind of person someone went to for comfort, but could I be that for my mate while also protecting him from the evil we're working to defeat? Wren: The day a warrior with beautiful gray-green eyes stuck a knife in my neck was the best day of my life. Until I realized my beautiful savior was also my mate. Unable to speak without having a panic attack, Zane's care and accommodation of my limitations left me in awe. Between texting and sharing notes, I found myself letting my guard down around them. But with my past haunting me at every turn, could I be the mate Zane deserved? Zane, the second book in the Lords of Otherworld series, features a badass agender soul collector, a haunted soul who wants to heal, and a romance that starts with one of them killing, and thereby saving, the other. Each book in the Lords of Otherworld series features a different couple with an overarching plotline. Each book ends in an HEA for the couple, but it is recommended to read the books in order for the most enjoyment. Tags: Zane is a BAMF, but secretly a softie, goes by they/them, identifies as agender. Zane's gender identity is BAMF too, honestly. Wren is a sweetie hiding lots of pain, Not-really-but-kind-of dead mate, second life, ex-vampires are a thing, Zane is really good with knives, like really good, Wren is a cinnamon-roll, Zane ISN'T, selective mutism, Damien is not very kingly, horrible exes, past abuse, low heat, Zane is kind of a therapist, but only to criminals. Trigger warnings: Mention of, and reference to, past physical and sexual abuse.
