Between the living and the dead are Death Walkers, empowered with supernatural abilities to protect the cycle of rebirth from the corrosive Revenants. However, each is born with only half their soul, and will themselves corrode in body and mind unless they find Imorata before it's too late.

Shani: My parents died trying to uncover the tomb of an Egyptian Queen, and I vowed to continue their quest. However, I didn't expect a ghost to attack during the unveiling of my discovery at the Smithsonian, nor the grim reaper who saved me. When we touched, I lived his past and he lived mine. Nikolai Vladimirovich, why was he at my presentation, and why does my adoptive father warn me about loving this stranger? Will I have to fight Nikolai to keep my family's discovery or will I let my family be forgotten because I'm falling in love with him?

Nikolai: Being a Death Walker-created to protect humans from murderous ghosts-I've been ordered to retrieve a dangerous tome from an ancient queen's remains at all costs. When I arrived at the presentation for this queen, a Revenant attacked. I didn't expect the woman on stage to be the other half of my soul, and certainly not to fall in love. Yet here I am, in her rowhome, trying to make sense of her life. Shani Dubois. I'm torn between my General's command, and my duty to love. Will I sabotage Imorata or betray my leader?

How deep will love go until loyalty breaks?

Perfect for fans of the the Black Dagger Brotherhood and the Dark Hunter series.
