Tainted Bonds: A Destruction of Gods Novella

Two Brothers. Two Gods. One Forbidden Bond.

One was made from light and the other from darkness, both with completely different minds. Lixtis, the oldest, grows hungrier for power by the day, stopping at nothing to have what he seeks, even if it means destroying everything in his way. His own creations, including the very first Astrial Angel, are not safe from the depths of his insanity.

He has claimed Vanora as his own, and she is the only thing standing between him and the power that he seeks, but letting her go is something he will never do.

Vanora loathes being her master's chosen companion, but an Astrial's life is never their own. Disobeying Lixtis brings nothing but pain. Her only hope emerges upon her banishment to Lorenon to lead the fight against Etbris's abominations. There, she encounters an enemy she can't kill, leading her to question everything she's ever known about the Demonians. She begins to wonder if her life could be more than just belonging to Lixtis.

Etbris, the youngest, only wants the best for everything around him, but is left grief-stricken by his brother's actions. All he wants is the freedom to use his power to create, but is forced instead to create a Demonian to rival Lixtis's first creation.

Bashtian, the first Demonian created by Etbris, longs for love despite the never-ending war raging around him. When he fails at the one job he exists to do, kill the Captain of the Astrial Angels, Bashtian cannot help but teach Vanora that his race is not what her master claims.
