The Exiled - The Shadow, His Wytch & Her Dämon

The sound of the rain pattering against the car filled my ears. “I’ve wanted to do that for at least the last five hours,” he breathed into my hair before his hands caught up in the curls, and his mouth met with mine again. Lovely, wonderfully intense kisses that made everything in this new world seem normal. Because Death doesn’t have makeout sessions, right? “Dermot,” I exhaled as somewhat of a sigh, “you make it all go away.” My self-imposed, nearly year-long dating hiatus, put into place while my heart was mending, melted in a firestorm of kisses once his mouth met mine. I felt seventeen again, with Joy Division playing in the background, and hot and heavy kisses with a sexy, wonderful boy. The world fresh, everything still ahead of me. So alive and new. *** Nika's reality is dismantled, and her perfect world unravels, when she meets Death’s right-hand man one fateful night, sending her life spiraling into a world of chaos and the impossible. Suddenly, she is no longer Nika, and becomes part of the most secretive inner workings of Death itself. As she delves deeper into the mystery and challenges of this new existence, her life becomes filled with haunting whispers, cryptic dreams, and impossible creatures. Her every move becomes shadowed by the darkly mysterious Bellamy, Dermot, and Killian. And they all want her…heart, body, and soul. She must quickly learn how to traverse this new life...or lose it. Someone sees her as a threat...and wants to eliminate her. Can her new friends in the Contingency of Death help her? Or are they part of the peril?
