“What else can I do to piss you off?"

"You can leave me."

"I would never do that, Tory. No one can live without their heart and that’s what you are to me.”

Eleven thousand years ago a god was born. Cursed into the body of a human, Acheron spent a lifetime of shame. However, his human death unleashed an unspeakable horror that almost destroyed the earth. Then, brought back against his will, Acheron became the sole defender of mankind.

Only it was never that simple. For centuries, he has fought for our survival and hidden a past he’ll do anything to keep concealed. Until a lone woman who refuses to be intimidated by him threatens his very existence.

Now his survival, and ours, hinges on hers and old enemies reawaken and unite to kill them both.

War has never been more deadly... or more fun

My Thoughts
This was one of my favorite books in the series.  Acheron has been such an enigmatic character so far - he's mysterious, all powerful, all knowing - but he's got secrets.  Huge secrets.  They were finally unlocked in this book, and we got to see him finally find someone who thought he was worthy just the way he is.
