Gena Showalter | Title Challenge: THE PHANTOM

bookbubamazonInstagrampinterestgoodreadsYouTubefacebooktwitter

If you enjoy fast-paced paranormal romance with brutal warriors who soften for only one woman, THE PHANTOM is the book for you. Let me tell you a little about it…

 

T— T is for tattoos. Roux, the hero, is covered in them. For his kind, gods of war known as the Astra Planeta, these tattoos are actually stains on his soul, manifested in his flesh. They move over his skin and if anyone stares at one long enough, they’ll relive the memory that caused it, as if they are Roux.
H—H is for headless. So. Yeah. There’s lots of decapitation in this story thanks to a war among immortals. But in a fun way.
E—E is for enemies to lovers. True enemies. Like, heroine hates hero with every fiber of her being. Until she doesn’t hate him, of course…

 

P—P is for plot twists. Who can be trusted? No one, that’s who.
H— H is for harpy. No, horny. No, harpy. Heroine is part harpy warrior, part phantom seductress, with the ability to possess anyone. Among other things. Though she shouldn’t crave the male who killed her beloved consort…though Roux shouldn’t hunger for the female determined to slay him, neither can deny the intensity of their connection.
A—A is for Ation, a primitive prison realm for immortal females and where most of the book takes place.
N—N is for nine. There are 9 Astra Planeta working together, each willing to cross any line to ascend and gain more power.
T—T is for target. In a zero-sum tournament to the death, everyone is a target for everyone else.
O—O is for obsession. Hero has it bad for heroine. If you like heroes who YEARN, you’re gonna love Roux.
M—M is for melt. If anyone can melt a vengeful harpy full of malice into a contented, playful kitten, it isn’t the brutal Roux. But somehow, he does it anyway.

THE PHANTOM by Gena Showalter

Rise of the Warlords #3

The Phantom

As the son of a war god, Roux Pyroesis has suffered unending pain—he’s caused it, too, dispatching his foes with alarming ease. Now he’s tasked with cutting out the heart of a powerful queen who rules an ancient prison realm inhabited by the most vicious immortal females in existence.

Blythe the Undoing is a decorated harpy warrior determined to annihilate Roux, the invader who killed her beloved consort. Nothing will stop her. Even if she must trap herself for eternity by sneaking into the brutal realm and taking the crown, pitting herself against the merciless male she’s sworn to despise.

Having never known desire, Roux is ill prepared for the stunning beauty who challenges him at every turn. For the survival of his army, duty comes first. Always. But what happens when the flames of Blythe’s hatred burn out and she craves him, too…but only one of them can live?
