A.L. Jackson
Destined to be together, forbidden to love, two lost souls fight evil in an everyday world that belongs to the night. A dark romantasy by a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.
My life is a nightmare. I’m tormented by the evils I’ve seen, but still I hunt. Kill.
My only comfort is Aria, my forbidden soulmate, whom I meet each night to fight an unseen war. When that war spills over and endangers her, there is nothing that can stop me from finding my love.
Giving in to our blazing attraction could be the death of us, but with one brush of her hand, I’m willing to break every oath I’ve made.
I’d burn the world to protect her from the evils that hunt us.
Because for one moment of loving Aria? I would gladly give my life.

Critic reviews
“Swoony romantasy.”—Booklist
People who viewed this also viewed...


















The audiobook performance is a mixed bag. The male main character's narration is strong and perfectly suited to the tone of the story. However, the female narrator’s voice sounded way too mature and, at times, overly theatric for the 18-year-old main female character. Unfortunately, this frequently often pulled me out of the story because it was so distracting.

STORY
AL Jackson delivers a refreshingly distinct narrative voice in this compelling series debut!
With her trademark emotional depth and immersive character/world-building, Jackson once again proves why she’s a powerhouse. What sets this novel apart is its striking tonal shift—much darker, grittier, and more visceral than her previous works—yet it’s a risk that pays off brilliantly.
Venturing into a mysterious new world with a cast of young adult (by age) characters, Jackson crafts a story that is both haunting and interesting. The dialogue is sharp and the character arcs thoughtfully developed. While stories with such young main characters aren’t typically my preference, the authenticity and nuance Jackson brings to these characters within the story made it work.
Overall, this is an exciting evolution in AL Jackson’s storytelling. I’m really forward to the next book in what’s shaping up to be a standout and exciting series.
5/5 for the story. Super fun story!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Bold New Voice from AL Jackson – A Captivating Start to an Engaging Series!

The book is packed with action, a tantalizing forbidden romance, and sky-high stakes that kept me turning the pages. The world-building is rich and immersive, setting up a deep, complicated, and downright risky romance between Aria and Pax. Their connection is magnetic, and as they fight off dark forces, resisting their growing attraction gets tougher. If you love stories about fated mates and epic adventures, this book won't disappoint you. The cliffhanger ending will leave you eager to grab the next book and discover what happens. Overall, I enjoyed this read. I have some lingering questions, but I hope they will be answered in future books.
Narration:
Victoria Mei and Teddy Hamilton delivered amazing performances. They transported me right into Aria and Pax's world and really brought the characters to life. Their performances allowed me to feel the passion, tension, and emotions elicited by Aria and Pax's epic journey. I highly recommend reading and listening in tandem.

Aria and Pax are both part of the Faydor where when they fall asleep they go to this other world and they are soul mates in this world. However, in during the day they should not be together or the Kruen who go after the them will attack them.
When something happens to threaten one of them, the other one decides they will do anything to save their soulmate. There were so many twists and turns I didn't see coming, and I loved every minute of it.
I can't wait to see what happens next in this series.

A.L. Jackson did not disappoint with her first fantasy romance! This story was creative and interesting. It’s dangerous and suspenseful with lots of action. It’s also super angsty and definitely a slowww burn. And as someone who gets easily lost with complicated world building, I found this to be fairly easy to follow and not too overwhelming. Just fyi, this does end on a cliffhanger. I am anxiously awaiting to see what happens as this story continues!!
🎧 I really enjoyed the audio of this. Victoria Mei and Teddy Hamilton were amazing!!
Unique romantasy!
