❝A boy and a girl,
feathers and flames.
A tragic love story,
and a life that came to an end❞

 ➳

The body dies but the soul survives; Punished by the gods, Icarus is cursed and doomed to centuries of pain. Reborn every eighteen years, He is bound to fall in pure love with an innocent soul and cause her death. Consumed by flames and born again from the ashes, the ruthless cycle will continue until the end of the days...

But this time, a force has been set up by The Guardians to break the rusted chains which bind Icarus. With the sole mission of protecting humans, The Guardians have taken it upon themselves to protect Icarus's love from the peril that awaits her. Cassie, a strong guardian apprentice, is chosen by "The Twelve", the kings and queens Guardians, to take Icarus' mission and save the person who will fall in love with him.

What happens when Cassie discovers her growing feelings for Icarus? Between the games of power, lust and magic, will Cassie be able to see the difference between reality and myths?

There is no time to think, as there is something... someone with a pinch of darkness in his blood that has other plans for them.

Azrael, the Angel of Death, has found a way to avenge his brother and save his people: to do so, he must betray the beautiful and dangerous creature that has stolen his heart. When the bite of a Lycan heralds his coming mortality, Azrael must make bold decisions: decisions with heavy consequences. With his people counting on him for salvation, no path seems like a good one. Until he meets Her, and his path becomes clear. Then, she steals his heart, and he can no longer stand to pay the price of peace. Saskia, the Daughter of Darkness, is determined to take her fate into her own hands: she must overcome her fear of losing herself to the dark secrets of her past... Without losing her heart in the process. Saskia is a soul-stealer: her dark touch kills everything around her. And now, that power is threatening to take over, destroying the fragile self she has created without her memories to guide her. She can't know who to trust, and who means her harm behind false smiles. But when a rakish, red-eyed Angel touches her skin-- and survives-- everything changes, and she must resist the passion he ignites in her. But it turns out, he's not the only one: someone else can touch her too, someone that claims her as his Mate. Will she choose vengeance, with the wicked Angel of Death-- whose touch alters her down to her soul, and whose protective embrace makes her heart race-- or will she give up her hated power to be with her smouldering Fated Mate, who secrets his passion beneath an icy exterior? ~*~*~ Updates every FRIDAY @ 17:00 MDT
