Description

The most anticipated story in the blockbuster Dark-Hunter series. The never-before-revealed story of the Dark-Hunter leader, Acheron. He was made human in order to escape death, but in death he was reborn a god. . .

Eleven thousand years ago a god was born. Cursed into the body of a human, Acheron spent a lifetime of shame. However, his human death unleashed an unspeakable horror that almost destroyed the earth. Then, brought back against his will, Acheron became the sole defender of mankind.

Only it was never that simple. For centuries, he has fought for our survival and hidden a past he'll do anything to keep concealed. Until a lone woman who refuses to be intimidated by him threatens his very existence.

Now his survival, and ours, hinges on hers and old enemies reawaken and unite to kill them both.
War has never been more deadly... or more fun.

    Acheron is by far my favorite! Love him and love that he found someone that is pure as him and will hold his hand and walk beside him.

    This was a much anticipated book in the Dark-Hunter saga. A word of warning, the first 600 pages or so are very hard to read. Acheron’s human life was horrible and you hear and see all of that in the beginning of his book. Born a human with his God powers bound he was persecuted his whole life. When he died he was then tricked by Artemis and brought back against his will. He has for the past 11,000 years been subject to her cruelty. When he meets Tory in the present she is again searching for Atlantis. We first met her as a teen in The Dream Hunter. She is in possession of an item that could ruin Ash’s life. Both Artemis and Apollymi are after that item as well. With dangerous factions coming for her will Tory finally reveal the location of Atlantis or will she be stopped at any cost? This book is a great read, but be aware of possible triggers.

    An awesome, captive read from beginning to end! Reading a few romance novels in my life, this book TRULY is love. The understanding of the word was well written in this book and I am a fan now. Loved the history lessons throughout (well played, Kenyon, well played!!)

    I've been reading this series in order but couldn't get past the 1st couple of chapters in this one. The abuse he suffered as a child was horrific. I read for entertainment yet this was certainly not entertaining. Too bad because I was so interested in learning about him
  • Missing some Content

    I found that some chapters end abruptly mid sentence and into the next. I have this book in hard cover so I've read it 100x. Please fix this problem

    I love this series and Acheron is my favorite character, but I have not been able to read through this book once. Part 1 is hard to get through...but part 2 is just so frustrating! Tory is annoying and harsh. Honestly, it is difficult to believe anyone could stand her attitude. So, I have not finished this book...which is sad. I really wanted to love this book, and for whatever reasons I can't.
