ISBN: 1626509980
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1139
Book Description
From the No 1 Sunday Times bestselling author Sylvia Day comes the Marked series, starting with Eve of Darkness. This urban fantasy series follows Evangeline Hollis, a heavenly bounty hunter, who's cursed by God, hunted by demons, and desired by none other than Cain and Abel. Uncontrollable bloodlust, dark and sexy desires, disasters of biblical proportions… Sylvia Day's epic series has it all and is not to be missed. Eve of Darkness — Years ago, Evangeline Hollis spent a blistering night with a darkly seductive man she can't forget. Now Eve is thrust into a world where sinners are marked and drafted to kill demons. Her former one-night stand, Cain, is now her mentor—and his equally sexy brother Abel is her new boss. Eve of Destruction — When Eve's training class takes a field trip to an abandoned military base, things take a dark turn. Meanwhile, her body is still adapting to her new abilities and the challenges that came with them—such as uncontrollable bloodlust…which seems to be inciting another kind of lust altogether. Eve of Chaos — Eve runs over Satan's hellhound during training, so he puts a bounty on her head, and every demon in the country wants to deliver. Meanwhile, as Cain's role in Eve's life becomes more and more uncertain, Abel doesn't hesitate to step in. Eve of Warfare — Eve knows when she's being used as a pawn in the celestial political game. Now, she just has to figure out who's the greater threat: the vampire she's hunting, the cherub yanking her chain, or the two brothers vying to play the role of her spouse—'til death do them part. Which in her line of work, could happen any minute… Eve of Sin City — Sin City—Las Vegas—is home to humans and Infernals of all sorts: the good, the bad, and the ugly. If you ask Evangeline Hollis, "good" is in short supply, "ugly" might be amusing, but "bad" is most definitely her business. Praise for Sylvia Day “Great characters and terrific storytelling in a hot-blooded adrenaline ride.” — Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Timesbestselling author "Will rock readers with a stunning new world, a hot-blooded hero, and a strong, kick-ass heroine." — Larissa Ione, New York Times bestselling author "Hooked me from the first page...I can't wait to read more about this league of sexy, dangerous guardian angels and the fascinating world they inhabit." — Lara Adrian, New York Times bestselling author "Explodes with passion and heat." — Cheyenne McCray, New York Times bestselling author
