A Soul to Heal

All Delora ever wanted was to disappear. Thrown into the Veil for past crimes, she expects death -- until a mysterious Duskwalker saves her. Initially fearful, she discovers layers beyond his monstrous exterior. He seeks a name and companionship after learning humans can be kept as partners. When Delora literally falls from the sky into his life, he tends her injuries, recognizing her emotional wounds run deeper than magic can heal.
