Thunder rolls through the hills as the rain falls harder, soaking the earth and my lifeless body. The gates vibrate the world around, and the pull grows stronger.
This is what I was always meant to do. This is what I was made for. Letum is who I was made for.
Death comes in the darkness and light, but for him, I will come in a storm.
The End.
Acknowledgments
I had a few people ask me what inspired this book.
The answer comes down to several things:
I wanted a freaky little man to leave me concerning notes while I slept.
Shadow daddies are hot.
Lilith is hot.
Untreated ADHD.
I was driving and Freefall was playing by Rainbow Kitten Surprises, and the following words spoke to me on a near spiritual level:
Called to the Devil and the Devil said Hey!
Why you been calling this late?
It's like 2 A.M. and the bars all close at 10 in hell, that's a rule I made
Anyway, you say you're too busy saving everybody else to save yourself
And you don't want no help, oh well
That's the story to tell
But aside from that, I want to thank my amazing team of beta readers: V, Sam, Kiza, Pia, Nadine, Jacki, Kayla, Mika, Mette, Ruby, Nildene, and Nika (and for the stunning drawing of the skull). If I could, I would put a very specific emoji next to each of your names, but unfortunately that would be a nightmare to figure out from a typesetting perspective. But honestly, this book wouldn't be where it is without you all, baby girls.
A special shout out to V, Sam and Kiza for your unwavering support from an emotional, spiritual and physical perspective. I love you guys.
About the Author
From an early age, romance author Avina St. Graves spent her days imaging fantasy worlds and dreamy fictional men, which spurred on from her introverted tendencies. In all her day dreaming, there seemed to be a reoccurring theme of morally grey female characters, love interests that belong in prison, and unnecessary trauma and bloodshed.
Much to everyone's misfortune, she now spends her days in a white-collar job praying to every god known to man that she might be able to write full time and give the world more red flags to froth over. Follow her on Instagram, Facebook and Tiktok.
