I am a thing of horror.


A failed experiment, stitched from mismatched parts. I carved out our place in the wastelands of Alia Terra, yet even my own kind, perfected by my work, avoids me. Hideous and utterly alone.


Years ago, consumed by this loneliness, I sent my blood to a Marriage Temple, and to my surprise, I was matched to a maiden. What happened when she saw me sent me into a spiral of despair and grim thoughts. I vanished behind my mansion's gates, forever.


But forever is a long time to be lonely. If this is my fate, then I’ll reject my immortality and be done with it. Or I can try once more…


I visit the bride market with no hope in my soul. I bid on every woman, the highest offer, always refused. Until...


She points at me. "Sold." Our eyes meet. I don’t know why this fierce, beautiful woman lets me buy her. I pull my cloak tighter, sure she is terrified. No matter. If I can have her, I'll hide my form, never touch her.

As a Cerberus of Asphodelia, I collect the death energy that feeds my city. The power the Moirae weave into new life. My claws harvest. My fire purifies. My will serves the cycle.

But on Shift day, death energy awakens. It's spreading beyond its bounds, reaching into territories where it doesn't belong.

Woodland creatures are trying to contain it. Push it back. Their desperate fertility magic battles against the very force that sustains my world.

And I can feel it. Something is coming, something death-marked. Mine.

Before I find her, before I claim what death has chosen for me, I must harvest the power that opposition has made stronger than ever before.


This is a prequel to Bought by the Cerberus, by Eva Brandt, which will release on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited on October 22!

Worthless. Defective. Barren. I was dead inside, living an empty life. Until a hellhound found me.

My people say a woman’s worth is in her womb. They spit on me, throw rocks, burn everything I hold dear. “Cursed,” they call me.

Then he saves me. Theron. A monstrous Cerberus from the Blighted Lands. Death follows in his footsteps, but he looks at me and doesn’t see something broken.

“Mate,” he decides.

This massive beast could crush a man’s skull with his bare hands, but his claws touch me with infinite gentleness. His hellfire doesn’t burn me. Under his protection, I’m not defective.

I’m treasured. Worshipped. His.

There’s only one way for us to be together. The death-touched bride market. I must step on the auction block in the city of the dead and choose him.

There’s just one problem. Monsters who bow to death don’t take credits as currency. The price for my new life might be higher than I ever imagined.

Bought by the Void Walker, releasing on October 15!

I sold myself to a monster so I could kill him.

He bought me to save what’s left of his soul.

They say never meet a Void Walker’s gaze.

I made him look.

Now I’m trapped in his realm of shadows, where silence cuts deep and desire coils between us like fire. He touches like he’s starving. Watches like I’m the last light in his collapsing world.

But he’s hiding secrets—about my sister, about the enemy stalking us both, and about the bond that’s tightening with every breath.

I came to destroy him.

I never meant to crave him.

On Alia Terra, a monster’s protection can mean the difference between life and starvation. I have one last chance: the bride market, where women put themselves on the auction block and hope the highest bidder isn’t also the cruelest.

When the final choice is mine, I pick Gaveth—scarred, silent, and more predator than man. He offers safety, not sweet words. But in his remote mountain cabin, safety comes with rules… and a pull between us that’s anything but safe.

The longer I’m in his territory, the more I see the loneliness behind his amber eyes—and the hunger he keeps on a leash. And when his control finally snaps, I learn exactly what it means to be claimed by a monster.

Bought by the Pain Hunter, releasing on October 29!

Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon AU | Amazon CA

The bride market offers women a choice. I walked in ready to pick someone survivable—not someone terrifying. Not someone I wanted.

In Alia Terra, monsters rule. The only way out for a broken, unmatched woman like me? Sell myself at auction—and hope I don’t regret it.

But when the bidding begins, it’s not the sleazy merchant or the four-armed aristocrat who makes my blood burn.

It’s the shadow in the back of the warehouse. Towering. Unmoving. Watching.

When he speaks, the others fall silent.

And when he wins me, I know I’ve made a mistake.

Because Kiakoa isn’t just a monster—he’s a pain hunter. Feeding on agony. Built for destruction. And somehow, gentle with me.

Until he’s not.

Until he touches me like he needs me to live. Until I start craving the heat of his skin and the violence in his voice. Until I realize…

He’s not going to break me.

He’s going to ruin me.
