Why Read This?

Kenyon redeems one of the Dark-Hunter series' most reviled characters—Styxx's suffering is relentless and his stolen moments with Bethany are the only light in a brutal story. At 800+ pages it's an emotional marathon but the payoff is staggering.

Synopsis

As the twin to Acheron, the hero who saved the human race centuries ago, Styxx hasn't always been on his brother's side. But with an Atlantean goddess bent on setting wrongs right, how do you find a way back from the darkness that wants to consume the entire world? One that wants to start by devouring your very soul?
