**THIS BOOK SHOULD NOT BE READ BEFORE COMPLETION OF THE DUSKWALKER BRIDES SERIES** There were rumours about monsters lurking in the forests; creatures that instilled fear. Lindiwe didn't believe a word of it. That is, until she is stolen from her home and forced to the edge of a growing crevasse. Not only is she wrong, but the creatures are more terrifying than ever imaginable. That same day, that same place, her life ends - and a new one begins. One of turmoil, change, and unbridled rage. Lindiwe learns she can stare into the void, and he often stares back... A deal is made, a bargain struck, and Weldir obtains a soul to keep. He's finally found himself a mate. He knows she doesn't trust him, doesn't particularly like him, and she's disobedient. But they made a vow, one he insists they honour, even if her mesmerising gaze never softens towards him. Their matebond is shaky, and Weldir doesn't know how to strengthen it when they're worlds apart.
