Their Battle, His Loss

By Ollie Ann Barnett

Tavia Vail survived the asylum-but she didn't escape the battle.

Marked as the Selten, a human key capable of unlocking the gates of Heaven, Tavia is no longer just a girl trying to piece her life back together. She is a target. A weapon. A prophecy waiting to be fulfilled-or destroyed.

Rescued by Viktor Cross, a hardened vampire with a pirate's past and a protector's instinct, Tavia finds herself drawn into a she never asked to be part of. Alongside Viktor, she begins to understand the truth about what she is... and what others are willing to do to control her.

But as they flee from Shane's grasp, and the United States, to seek refuge in the shadows of Viktor's past in England, more danger follows.

What should have been a sanctuary becomes a battlefield.

A traitor lurks among them.

And when that betrayal turns deadly-claiming the life of one of their own and tearing Isaiah from their grasp-the fragile band holding the group together begins to crumble.

For Isaiah, caught in a war between angels and vampires. For Viktor, torn between love and the responsibility to his crew. For Tavia, forced to confront the reality that her existence may doom everyone she cares about.

And for the one hiding in plain sight...

Ending the Selten curse means ending her.

In a world where loyalty is fleeting and love is dangerous, Tavia must decide:

Is she worth saving...

or is she the very thing that must be destroyed to save them all?
