C a Worley

Shadow's Lyric C a Worley

It began with a blood oath. It ended in bloodshed. When twenty-one-year-old Lyric is told by her father, Gabrian, she will be crossing into the Otherland as payment for a favor he owes the Shadow Lord, she thinks her life is over. In truth, it is just beginning. Years of training as a soldier and an uncanny ability to learn pretty much anything give Lyric the tools she needs to survive her new reality-and it totally helps that her new lord and master is sex incarnate. Draven has long awaited Lyric's arrival, and not just because he needs her to track a powerful weapon stolen by an unknown adversary. He believes he has everything firmly in hand, despite the subterfuge he foolishly agreed to some twenty years back. When Draven's enemies and lies of omission both threaten the fragile bond he and Lyric are forming, he refuses to allow anything to stand in the way, not even the razor-sharp blade of Lyric's favorite sword. WARNING: This novel contains tons of bad language, the occasional smackdown, and a good deal of inappropriate humor--sometimes all at once
