Aetherion Academia #1: Shadows of Rebirth
"It seems the revenant has found herself a protector. Or should I say... a pet?"
Riven's growl was low, controlled, but deadly.
I stepped around him, my chin high, my blood still wet on my throat, my branded wrist visible. "He stopped a rampage," I said, my voice carrying in the hush. "He saved lives. Including mine. The bloodlust is a curse, not a choice. And he mastered it."
"Did he?" Vane asked. "Or did you simply offer him a more palatable target?"
The whispers began again, but different this time. Not about murder. About bondage. About the forbidden union of revenant and vampire, the dark romance that defied every law of the Academy and the natural order.
