Synopsis

Loyalty and love can ruin you. But hope is the deadliest of all. For ten years Demitria Collins has fought the creatures of nightmares to protect the one person she has left. With a rising string of demon attacks on the forefront, she knows it’s only a matter of time until they’re next. But when a routine patrol goes awry, and Demitria has a fated encounter with the legendary Horsemen known as War, everything she fought for is threatened. Including her life. Kellan, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, has been sent to Earth by the High Council of Eden to restore the balance with his siblings. Dispatched on their newest assignment, he expected the task to be simple. Not for his charge to be human. When a split second decision leaves even more blood on his hands, Kellan has questions for the council– Ones they won't answer. The warrior should embody everything Demitria hates, but a growing darkness forces them into an unlikely allegiance to uncover a deadly truth. When an inexplicable pull complicates matters even worse, and that unyielding hostility turns into something beautiful and fiery that breaks through every belief they’ve ever had, both know the consequences will be deadly. But together, they might stand a chance to restore order before the ultimate destruction of a planet that she, and the High Council, hold dear. BLOOD & WAR is a new adult romantasy by debut author Belle Walker. Combining the epic journey and heart stopping romance of A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES , the scorching spice from F ALL OF RUIN AND WRATH , and the dark vibes of SUPERNATURAL , this story will appeal to fans of heated romance with high stakes!
