Duskwalker Beginnings Series by Opal Reyne

**THIS BOOK SHOULD NOT BE READ BEFORE COMPLETION OF THE DUSKWALKER BRIDES SERIES**. There were rumours about monsters lurking in the forests; creatures that instilled fear. Lindiwe didn’t believe a word of it. That is, until she is stolen from her home and forced to the edge of a growing crevasse. Not only is she wrong, but the creatures are more terrifying than ever imaginable. That same day, that same place, her life ends – and a new one begins. One of turmoil, change, and unbridled rage... more**THIS BOOK SHOULD NOT BE READ BEFORE COMPLETION OF THE DUSKWALKER BRIDES SERIES**. There were rumours about monsters lurking in the forests; creatures that instilled fear. Lindiwe didn’t believe a word of it. That is, until she is stolen from her home and forced to the edge of a growing crevasse. Not only is she wrong, but the creatures are more terrifying than ever imaginable. That same day, that same place, her life ends – and a new one begins. One of turmoil, change, and unbridled rage. Lindiwe learns she can stare into the void, and he often stares back. .. A deal is made, a bargain struck, and Weldir obtains a soul to keep. He’s finally found himself a mate. He knows she doesn’t trust him, doesn’t particularly like him, and she’s disobedient. But they made a vow, one he insists they honour, even if her mesmerising gaze never softens towards him. Their matebond is shaky, and Weldir doesn’t know how to strengthen it when they’re worlds apart. less

A hundred and fifty years have passed, and much has happened for Lindiwe. She’s bonded, she’s served her duties, and she’s brought Duskwalkers into the world. Every year, her relationship with Weldir grows steadier, only to eventually shatter. What follows is a beautifully chaotic whirlwind of push and pull, a battle of devotion and affection against unchanging fates that are impossible to resolve. She can’t fall in love with the shadowy entity who lives in the void... moreA hundred and fifty years have passed, and much has happened for Lindiwe. She’s bonded, she’s served her duties, and she’s brought Duskwalkers into the world. Every year, her relationship with Weldir grows steadier, only to eventually shatter. What follows is a beautifully chaotic whirlwind of push and pull, a battle of devotion and affection against unchanging fates that are impossible to resolve. She can’t fall in love with the shadowy entity who lives in the void. She fears for what’s left of her humanity if she does. .. Weldir’s indifference has begun to dissipate. In the wake of his mate’s teasing, her desire, and her lovely fire, obsession and infatuation violently collide. He wants her, just as much as he craves her soul to embrace. As their Mavka offspring begin their own lives, he yearns for freedom from his realm. But for a bodiless demi-god, who doesn’t belong in her world and cannot leave his own, there’s no solution within his intangible reach. less
