New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon brings us back to the astonishing world of the Dark-Hunters with a hero misunderstood by many . . . but most of all by himself.Born before man recorded time, I lived for thousands of years believing myself to be something I'm not.Someone I'm not. Lied to and betrayed by gods, Daimons and Dark-Hunters, I've struggled to find my way in a world where I've been cursed since the moment I was ripped from my mother and planted into the womb of an innocent woman who thought me her son.Trained as a slayer and predator, I learned to fit in and stay low. To become a tool for evil. Until I was sent to kill the one woman I couldn't. My hesitation cost her her life.Or so I thought. In an act of betrayal that makes all the others pale in comparison, I've learned that this world is an illusion and that my Phoebe still lives.Now I will have to travel into the very pits of Hades to try and save her, even as everyone around me attempts to steal what little soul I have left. Yet sometimes the road to redemption is one that singes us to our very core. And if I fail to find the answers I need to save Phoebe, more than just my wife will die.We will lose the world. Both human and Daimon.[http://www.sherrilynkenyon.com/][thumbnail of Dragonsworn and Dragonmark]
