Stygian

#1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon brings us back to the astonishing world of the Dark-Hunters in Stygian, 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 prematurely 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. There''s only one person at my back and I''m not sure I can trust her either, for she was born of an enemy race. 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.
