Shadow of Death

Above the hungry crowd chanting for blood, I put my body on the line in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, it will be enough... Welcome to the Mouth of Hell, where I’m training to defeat my past before it destroys my future. To beat my father and secure my freedom, I’ll have to be stronger than I’ve ever been before. If fighting in the cage leaves me too bruised and exhausted to focus on my crumbling personal life, that’s just a bonus. Some truths hurt more than lies. And I’m not the only one aching. Ciprian’s a stranger. Alistair’s losing it. Luca’s walking on eggshells. And my ex is here, watching, judging, and stirring up things better left alone. My control is slipping. My monsters won’t be ignored. Attraction is one thing and loyalty is another. Staying alive and off the enclave’s radar should be our only priorities, so why am I feeling things I’m scared to name? I can fight to the death and kill to protect, but I’m not sure I have what it takes to forgive and forget.
