Shadow Revealed (The Enlightened Species Book Two)

A blood-slave to a prolific killer for nearly eight decades Umbrae is rescued by the SOSC. Five years later she is ready to join the world, trained as an elite assassin. When her former master is spotted she is given the opportunity to be apart of the hunt to execute the one who held her against her will and tortured her for so long. An invitation also extended to Enlil, the widowed bloodmate of Umbrae’s only friend, Etana. United in vengeance and a common enemy brings Umbrae face-to-face with the male she’s secretly loved her entire life.
The death of a bloodmate usually causes a surviving mate to release their living energy back into the universe to rejoin with their love in the next realm. Without his beloved Etana Enlil has remained in this world balancing his pain and emptiness with a desire for vengeance and the fear of hurting his twin sister. A shell of the warrior he’d once been meeting Umbrae on the cusp of finally destroying Etana’s killer and joining her in death was not what he had planned.
Umbrae and Enlil find love within each other’s arms. A love strengthened further by their shared pain and memories of Etana.
