The Love of my Life is dying.

Though Val wears the body of the Nightmare King, the creature who violated me, I will not let him die.

Bloodied and bruised, I enter the halfway realm, and I drag him from the Gates of Hell, or maybe Heaven.

Yet my actions have drastic consequences. Gods, demons, a creature called Death, and even a minotaur, all want a piece of Val. Being possessed by them seems the only way to keep him powered up and alive.

To stop the Nightmare King, Val and I have joined a haphazardly formed company of soldiers, CIA, immortals and Stitched warriors.

But there is a problem I did not foresee.
There are side effects to being possessed...

Val has something inside him, and I'm afraid of what it might be.

Can I save my love again? Is it safe to go near him?

This is not a standalone romance. Book 2, Nightmare Rising, is the beginning of Val and Zara's romance. Book 1, The Bride Collector is a separate romance but it is the start of the story of the Nightmare King.
