A thrilling new series featuring seven immortal Spartan warriors protecting mankind- and confronting passion along the way...

Eternity has become a prison for Ajax Petrakos. Centuries after he and his Spartan brothers made their bargain for immortality, Ajax struggles to maintain his warrior's discipline. His only source of strength is his hope that he will soon meet the woman once foretold to him--the other half of his soul, Shay Angel.

Ajax searches for his destined mate on the haunted streets of modern-day Savannah, but he isn't the first to find her. Shay, the youngest of a powerful demon-hunting clan, can see the monsters that stalk the steamy Southern nights--an ability that draws the deadly attention of Ajax's worst enemy. As Shay and Ajax race to solve a chilling prophecy--one that could spell Ajax's death if they don't succeed--a fated passion arises, threating to sweep away everything in its path.

Dear gods:

I know Leah said that the winikin should pick specific gods to write to, but it doesn't feel right.  I'm not a magic-user, not a Nightkeeper.  I'm just support staff.  I've done my best to protect, teach and guide my charges, even when we thought the barrier was closed, the end-time war averted.  Now that we know otherwise, it's all hands on deck as we try to stretch a dozen magi over the roles of hundreds, with too little information and not enough power. 

I'm afraid, gods.  I'm afraid it won't be enough, that I won't be enough.  I already called it wrong once- I told Strike to sacrifice Leah, leaned on him hard to do it.  Where would we be now if he'd listened?  Leah is good for him, and it's important for the others to see how their love increases his magic far and above that of the others.  Which leaves me. . . where?
