The Sins of Silas

In this spicy, heart-wrenching dark romantasy, one mage must unite forces with her cruel enemy--and first love--while fighting the growing angst and passion between them.

"I felt it then ... felt how her presence was nothing more than a constant tease--a reminder that he could not satiate that hunger ... could not feast on what it was he truly desired."

Five years ago, Silas La'Rune lost everything. After the deaths of his mother and Lena Daelyra, the love of his life, something in Silas changed, turning him into a cold, merciless man. His sole purpose became eradicating the kind he believed responsible for those deaths. Witches. Silas, known to the people of Tovagoth as "The Slayer of Witches," ended lives without remorse. Until one day, he raided a Mage village and saw her.

Turns out Lena was very much alive. Not only that, but she herself is a witch--a Mage. Yet, despite his anger and hatred for the Mages, Silas showed mercy when he met eyes with the woman he once loved. Now the two have joined forces, wishing to recruit allies to not only overthrow Ulric La'Rune, the King of Otacia, but to destroy the necromancer that terrorizes the land.

But every glance between Silas and Lena serves as a reminder of the past when they were tangled beneath the sheets, lost in each other's embrace. Silas can't be with Lena, can't hold her in his arms or feel her lips against his ... because he's a married man now. But despite his commitment to another, he can't get his first love out of his mind. While they hide their history from others, will Lena and Silas be able to battle their rising feelings for each other?
