Klappentext From New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Frank comes a blazing hot novel in her thrilling series featuring four immortal warrior brothers whose fate lies with themselves as much as with their stars. After being chained to a star to burn endlessly as punishment for stealing immortality from the gods! Jaykun has been unshackled to wage war alongside his brothers. But his freedom comes with a price: Each night Jaykun must still suffer-his body burning from the inside out. One early morning! recovering from his torment! he encounters a beautiful stranger on the beach. Naked from her midnight-black hair to her sandy toes! she approaches him with starry-eyed innocence and the unmistakably full body of a woman. Soon Jaykun is swept up with the force of a comet! his desire for this woman hotter than any sun. His brothers fear he is blinded by her radiant beauty! and that she has been sent by their enemies to seduce and destroy him. Jileana is indeed from another world-one Jaykun cannot begin to imagine. But will their passion burn brightly enough to light the way through the darkness that threatens to consume all in its path? chapter ONE Jaykun felt the sword puncture the hard leather of his armored vest, the power of its wielder outstanding.

Finding himself armed with a sword in each hand, he hurled himself at his enemy, who was now weaponless. With an ear-­splitting battle cry, he plunged both swords under his enemy’s armor—­one through the man’s neck, the other under his arm and, reciprocating the honor, through his heart. When this man fell, he did not get up again. Jaykun’s enemy was facedown in the mud and blood only seconds later, having drawn his last breath in this world. Jaykun threw down the inferior sword the man had used in an attempt to slay him and turned to look back toward the encampment. He began to walk toward it, the seconds ticking by with every pump of his damaged heart. He staggered, but he forced himself to remain on his feet. If he went down into the mud, he would be left there for hours, until the battle was over and one or both of his brothers came to retrieve his body. Instead he walked off the battlefield, managing somehow to avoid engaging another enemy combatant. He stumbled up the embankment—­the high ground from where they had launched their offensive—­and lurched toward the command tent. He reached it by sheer force of will, but only just. He stumbled inside, startling his elder brother Dethan, who had been poring over a map of the field and its outlying areas—­as well as the prize that lay beyond the battle: the city of K...
