A Kiss to Wake the Dead
(2026)(The first book in the Damnation and Devotion series)
A novel by Kayla Maya
In the realm of Aramoor, the dead do not return.
Until Araxie touches a dying heart--and brings it back to life.
Marked as a heretic and hunted for a power she cannot explain, Araxie becomes the one anomaly the gods cannot ignore. Each resurrection fractures the Veil that separates the living from the dead, drawing the wrath of Caius, the immortal ruler of the Underrealm.
Bound by cosmic law to destroy her, Caius instead discovers something far more dangerous: Araxie is not just defying death-she's changing it.
What begins as defiance becomes fascination. What should end in destruction begins to feel dangerously like desire.
As Araxie's forbidden gift unravels the balance between life and death, the gods stir, kingdoms whisper her name in fear, and the line between miracle and catastrophe begins to fade. To save those she loves, Araxie may have to choose between the living world she belongs to...
....and the death god who is slowly claiming her heart.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
