Monsters and Muses Series by Sav R Miller
Promises and Pomegranates
Elena
To most, Kal Anderson is a villain.
Harbinger of death, keeper of souls, frequenter of nightmares.
Doctor Death. Hades incarnate.
They say he stole me.
Usurped my fiancé and filled the cracks in my heart with empty promises.
Imprinted his crimson fingerprints on my psyche and tried to set me free.
They’re not wrong, per se.
Except it was my choice to stay.
Kal
To most, Elena Ricci is an innocent.
Goddess of springtime, lover of poetry, angel of my nightmares.
Little one. Persephone personified.
They say I ruined her.
Shattered her virtue and devoured her soul like a succulent pomegranate.
Embedded my evil as deep as I could possibly get and tried to set her free.
They’re not wrong, per se.
Except it was she who ruined me.
Vipers and Virtuosos
Aiden
From the second I saw her, I knew she’d be my ruin.
Sitting all alone at the bar, she looked like an angel.
Eurydice in human form; her beauty eclipsed by demons.
Now, I’m one of them.
The ghost she’s tried for years to escape.
Thinking I wouldn’t be able to find her.
But I never stopped trying, and now that I have,
Her past sins should be the least of her worries.
Riley
From the moment he saw me, I knew I’d ruin his life.
Alone at the bar, I dared the monster to come and play.
Orpheus in the flesh, with his sad songs and strange obsessions.
I became one of them.
The siren who calls to the darkest parts of him.
Only, I disappeared before he could act on it.
But now he’s here,
and he wants me to repent for my sins.
Oaths and Omissions
Lenny Primrose is a puppet.
A temptress sent to make my life bloody miserable.
Adored by the public and used for her father’s benefit.
Every man wants her, and every woman wants to be her.
She’s good for my reputation.
That’s the only reason I agree to the little devil’s proposal.
I’m game.
Willing to play pretend to get what I want.
Until what I want is her.
Now, there are no rules.
I’ll wage a war against the world just to keep her.
Even the deadliest men have their vices, and she happens to be mine.
Arrows and Apologies
They say every proud man must fall.
Mortals who fancy themselves gods will one day kneel.
I thought myself invincible.
Apollo on Earth.
Mocked my brother when he succumbed to such a fate.
Before I noticed the blue-haired nymph lurking in the background.
Cora Astor shouldn't have come to this island.
She sneered in my direction, beguiling me with her disgust.
As a Wolfe, hunting is in my blood.
Getting what I want is my nature.
Even when I know I can never have it.
Though I cannot keep her,
I plan to relish the chase.
Souls and Sorrows
Nobody asked him to step in.
