A lost love, an unknown child, a curse that threatens them all … Loki is thrilled to find his lover and her sons didn't die horribly at Zeus' hand thousands of years ago but were transported through time by his mentor Demeter, their memories stripped and their powers shielded by an ancient spell. That joy soon turns to ashes when he realises he can never tell Daphne who she is and what they were together unless he wants to unleash an ancient terror on them all. He can't even claim her youngest son, Gideon, as his own child – a pain that strikes close to his damaged heart. Until a few months ago, Daphne Edmonds never knew magic existed, let alone that Gods and Goddesses roamed the earth. But when her best friend is outed as an ancient God and his family and friends turn out to be witches, demi-Gods and Cupids, she has no choice but to accept. However, when she and her sons begin to change into creatures of myth, she can't help but place the blame solely at the feet of one particular, very annoying and far too attractive God of Mischief. Despite all Loki's efforts to hide the truth, the ancient witch curse that plagues his life seems to want to make things exponentially worse. When Daphne and her sons begin to change into creatures of legend, it's not only Zeus' wrath he has to worry about – but the ancient evil that will seek to use them to help it destroy everything Loki has spent his life protecting. For lovers of Sherrilyn Kenyon, Nalini Singh, Kresley Cole and Gena Showalter. "e;I Loved it!!!"e; SissyJ59 – Kobo Reviewer "e;A heart racing and heart breaking book that I could not put down."e; Margery – Goodreads, Amazon, B&N, BookBub and BookSprout Reviewer "e;It left me wanting to read more from Leisl Leighton and this world."e; Darkcatra – Goodreads Reviewer "e;There are many twists and turns, shocks and surprises throughout and I can't wait to find out what happens next.
