A Soul to Embrace: Duskwalker Brides: Book Eight

Zylah is a nameless wanderer searching for purpose in a world ravaged by demon attacks. When she discovers a broken, dying Jabez, her instinct to heal overrides all caution. She nurses him back to health, unaware that the man tethering himself to her side is fueled by a singular, dark purpose: the total annihilation of the Elvish people. What begins as a desperate survival pact quickly spirals into an intense enemies-to-lovers dynamic, where the lines between savior and target blur into a dangerous obsession.

Jabez is a man consumed by vengeance, viewing Zylah initially as nothing more than a tool to reignite his war. However, as Zylah’s humanity blooms and her presence begins to soften his frozen heart, his burning hatred is eclipsed by a fierce, possessive need to protect her. He finds himself caught in a devastating paradox, terrified that revealing his brutal past will shatter the fragile bond they have forged.
