Tempting Death and Destruction by Emily Shore
Can I win my Dragon Prince of Destruction back from his poisonous new bride? Or will I fall for his haunting twin brother, the Reaper Prince of Death?
The Father of all Vampires sent a resurrected bride with a false halo to deceive Neo, turning him from my protective dragon to a destructive beast consumed by hatred. Determined to prove that I am his true bride and the true Halo-Bearer, I find myself in the Soul Plane, entangled with Thanatos—the Prince of Death and Neo’s twin brother. I must navigate his icy Court of Souls, becoming his ally while Death entices me like a dark dream.
Meanwhile, a deadly scourge plagues the land, and I become the face of a healing angel while grappling with Neo’s indifference, Thanatos’s increasing desire, and the looming threat of the Father’s sinister plan to enslave the world using my Halo.
If I fail, it will mean death at the hands of the Father or eternal enslavement within Thanatos’s Court of Souls.
