It is cold to walk in the shadow of a newborn goddess.

When tasked to do the impossible, sometimes even the righteous must disobey.

“What do you seek of my Raven Queen?”

He opened his mouth—I’m sure to object or demand—but I tilted my head and smiled at him from behind my curtain of scarlet curls with all the womanly radiance I could muster. He was my windfall, the solution to my current problem set for me by Illyria herself. For all my training and years of practice as a bedslave, I also wanted, nay, needed this god to bend to my will.

He did.

Memad closed his mouth, swallowed and breathed in and out slowly, causing his magnificent chest to rise and fall. He was mesmerizing. Had I not been so inured to banal sexuality, I might’ve lost my own train of thought. Instead, I needed control of his. But it was a near thing.

Clutching the Book, I closed the last step between us to lay my free hand over his heart.

“I can help you, Memad, son of storms and glory,” I whispered, “if you help me.”

He nodded, our gazes still locked together.

In the name of the Raven Queen, I make love and war.

Righteous Disobedience: An Epic Fantasy Origin Story Full of Magic & Lust (A Temple of Vengeance Story)

I am not a hero. I never wanted to become a god.

The demon lords of the underworld took my wife and unborn child far too soon. I will take back what is mine. And whatever else I must to do it.

When she sighed, the goddess’ breath was heavy and moist, smelling of pomegranate and coconut and allspice. “I cannot bring her back to you, Z’nnek.”

My heart could not have sunk any lower nor my resolve become any more unyielding. A blank black slate, my mind refused to produce a next plan. My heart stopped and refused to break.

“But I will give you a gift,” she said with a wan smile, “which may enable you to catch her before it is too late.”

Fickle hope kindled in my heart which resumed its beating.

“This gift does not come without cost,” she said.

Beware the wrath of a peaceful man.

Becoming a goddess wasn’t what I planned for today.

Death made me an offer I couldn't refuse. But I'm in love with the archangel who is his oldest and best friend.

“You have been friends for a millennium,” I said. Perhaps as much as a god and his angel could be friends, I thought. “It would be cosmically stupid for you to allow a woman to ruin such love.”

I held their hands tight as they flinched and tried again to pull away. But they were looking at me now, not each other, which is what I wanted. Focus on me, boys, I thought to myself, selecting my next words carefully.

The stone floor was hard and cool against my knees as I knelt between them. I brought both of their hands to my lips. “I choose you,” I said again, loud enough to fill the dark room. I looked from one to another and asked, “Will you both choose me?”

Confusion and ancient possessiveness settled across their faces at war with hope and a new consideration. The juxtaposition might have been comical had my heart not hung in the balance.

Ravens mate for life. And death.
