About this listen

In this dark and sultry enemies-to-lovers romantasy, a mermaid battles hatred and lust for the wretched warlock who once bargained her life away - now he must be the one to save it.

Mermaid Zephyra dreams of freedom. On the run from a dangerous captor, she's shed her tail and hidden herself on land, her only option to steal and barter on the dirty streets. But her freedom is short-lived when she's caught and sentenced to death by the beautiful yet brutal warlock Arion Stone.

Arion is the strongest warlock alive, but his strength has come at a cost. His only salvation is the God of Death's heart, lost to a fabled kingdom beneath the ocean's depths that only the merrow can reach.

Arion offers Zephyra a deal: help him find the mystical heart, and he'll spare her life. But Zephyra's past is catching up, and as the two enter a dangerous magical bargain, they must learn to trust each other or find that there are worse things awaiting them than death . . .

A deliciously dark and viciously sexy romance. You will want to devour Jordan Gray's stunning paranormal debut. But beware, this book bites back
