What happens when you stumble through an invisible barrier into a realm where pleasure is power and the gods are dangerously real?

I never meant to crash the Nyphrazi world. One minute I'm trudging home through an Alaskan forest, the next I'm face-to-face with Vyran, God of the Woods, whose touch ignites something I never knew existed.

Captured and cleansed by ancient magic, I'm claimed by him in ways that shouldn't be possible. But when our joining gives him power like no lover before, it means I've broken ancient laws no one warned me about.

Now I'm addicted to my time in his realm, even as his five godly brothers circle closer. Because what I've discovered about myself—and about the energy that flows between us—changes everything.

What happens when a god's obsession becomes your nightmare and there's nowhere to hide, even in your own world?

I thought my time with the Nyphrazi was over. Six weeks since Vyran sent me home, and I'm finally getting my life back together. New job, fresh start, no more dreams about gods with impossible tongues and leather-bound desire.

Then I make the mistake of going on a date. One touch from Gerry's hands and suddenly his eyes turn silver, his hair transforms, and Seolfer—the coldest, most calculating of Vyran's brothers—takes control of his body to claim what he believes is rightfully his.

What happens when a god's 'gift' turns your body into his personal playground, and you can't remove it no matter how hard you try?

Months have passed since my encounter with Seolfer, and I thought I was finally free of the Nyphrazi gods. Wrong. Now I'm sporting copper hair, copper accessories I can't remove, and a dating life that's deader than roadkill.

Then I meet Ben, a fellow redhead who's been marked by the Goddess Cuprum. When our piercings arc between us, we discover the power flowing between us might be exactly what these gods have been seeking all along.

But Ciprus, the God of Copper, isn't done with me yet.

What happens when a god's vanity becomes your prison—and the only key is melting away everything that makes you feel human?

I thought I was done with golden showers until Aurum decided my body needed his personal touch. Now I'm sporting a gold chastity belt that won't come off and a bud that sticks out like a sore thumb thanks to his "artistic vision."

When Ben suggests using acid to remove Aurum's handiwork, I'm desperate enough to try anything. But melting divine gold comes with consequences neither of us saw coming—and suddenly we're both in agony that only the healing tongues of the Nyphrazi can fix.

Praedytus, the father of all the gods and the most dangerous one yet, steps in to save us. But when the God of All Desire lives up to his name, I discover some addictions are more dangerous than death.

What happens when a god's reluctance becomes your greatest danger, and the only escape is through magnetic attraction?

Four months have passed since the golden disaster, and I'm finally enjoying normal life with Ben aboard our floating home, The Metal Beast. But when we anchor in a bay marked with a mysterious red X, I should have known the Nyphrazi weren't done with me yet.

Axel, the God of Nickel, is the most reluctant of all the brothers—so reluctant that his father, Praedytus, has to force our encounter. But magnetic attraction works both ways, and when Axel's metal pebbles turn my body into his personal conductor, I discover that sometimes the most dangerous pleasure is the kind that never wants to stop.

Now I'm caught between worlds with power I never asked for and a death sentence I can't escape. The only solution requires facing all seven gods in one night, including the two who tried to destroy me.

What happens when the gentlest god becomes your greatest challenge, and the only thing standing between you and certain death?

Time is running out. The Festival of Obis approaches, and I need Marlo's healing enzymes to survive what's coming. Seven gods in one night, all determined to achieve Nysa with me or watch me die trying.

But Marlo, the God of Iron, isn't like his brothers. Where they take, he heals. Where they demand, he asks. And when he offers to prepare me for the impossible ceremony ahead, I discover his riveted fettyr isn't the only thing designed to drive me to the edge of sanity.

When the Goddess of Iron herself claims me, I finally understand the true scope of what I've become. But power always comes with a price, and mine might be to lose the one human connection that still matters.

What happens when the ceremony meant to save your life becomes the key to the balance of power?

The Festival of Obis is here. Seven gods, one night, one chance to return to my human form. But as I'm brought before the Circle of Obadyn, I realize this ceremony was never about saving me.

Obis has been whispering in my head, preparing me for this moment. When Praedytus—the God of All Desire himself—steps forward, I understand the truth. This was about awakening Obadyn, the most powerful god in existence, and the one being even the Nyphrazi fear.

When the ceremony goes catastrophically wrong, I discover my destiny was far more dangerous than I ever imagined. In a realm where gods kneel and mortals ascend, I must choose between the safety of being ordinary and the terrifying freedom of being extraordinary.

A parallel universe where the pleasures of the flesh are as addictive as they are deadly? Having to risk it all for the love of a mere human?

I thought moving back to Alaska would give me time to figure out my life. I was wrong. The worst thing wasn't being flat broke and directionless—it was running into six-and-a-half-feet of tattooed muscle in custom leather deep in the Alaskan forest.

I never asked to be taken by the Nyphrazi, although the benefits soon became apparent. Stumbling through the invisible wall separating my home from theirs, I was freaking out until I discovered the men were gods and the laws of time and ecstasy were there to be played with.

But all was not as it seemed with the Gods of Nyphrazi, and the deeper I got sucked into their power games, the more tentative my grasp on life and reality became.

Will I get my happily ever after with Ben, my human lover, or will I have to make the ultimate sacrifice to save him?

Because when gods play games, mortals pay the price.
