They say the gods only come for the marked.
Elia's never believed that.
Not until her sister disappeared.
Not until the smoke started whispering her name.
Now, in the last surviving settlement on the edge of the desert, Elia is caught between a crumbling town, a man with secrets in his blood, and a god who wants more than just devotion.
Marked by forces she doesn't understand, watched by something ancient inside the god house, Elia is running out of time-and allies.
But she didn't come to Redgrave to kneel.
She came to burn it all down, if she has to.
A slow-burn post-apocalyptic romance with enemies at the gates, gods beneath the floorboards, and a girl who refuses to be sacrificed quietly.

It is a slow burn, but worth it. ~ After a devastating alien invasion leaves Earth in ruins, humanity struggles to survive in isolated zones, clinging to life behind barriers of failing technology. Lena, a skilled engineer with fierce determination, dedicates her life to maintaining what little remains of this protective technology-especially the light posts that keep the Xyvarians at bay. But when a search for medicine pulls her outside the safe zone, she encounters a certain alien. Towering, muscular, and adorned with sharp, curving horns, this alien is a calculated hunter, though his interest in Lena is anything but logical. Drawn to her, he pursues her in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, one that blurs the line between predator and prey. As Lena fights to evade capture, the tension between them ignites into a charged, forbidden attraction that neither can fully understand. He is unlike any alien she's ever faced-Machiavellian, dangerous, unyielding, yet inexplicably captivated by her. Lena, wary and unwilling to surrender, finds herself both repelled and fascinated by the Xyvarian who watches her with a gaze that burns with something far more primal. As she grapples with confusing desires and the disturbing revelation of a breeding program, Lena is forced to question everything-her survival, her humanity, and her heart. ~ (The artwork featured in my cover photo was sourced from Pinterest.
