All monsters must belong to a house. Good thing I don't play by the rules. The monsters won't break me. I'm going to find my sister, and if participating in the Week of Orash is my best chance of finding her, I'll fight. I'll face off against the newbloods and let the alphas from the monster houses think they can have me. But I don't belong to anyone. Not even the four terrifying monsters who hold me captive-Kade the wolf shifter, Asher the demon, Darian the siren, and Locke the vampire. Or at least, that's what I used to think. Now I'm not so sure. Somehow these four males are melting through my defenses, and I'm starting to realize that I need them as much as they need me. As the secrets of the Katakin continue to unravel, I find myself wondering who the true monsters are. Nightmarish creatures named the 'outliers' wreak havoc on the city, and enemies walk the cobbled streets, like whispers in the darkness. My sister isn't the only one who needs saving, and I'll have to decide if I'm willing to embrace the power inside myself, or if I let the monsters burn. This is the second book in the Her Cursed Protectors series and a fun reverse harem fantasy novel. Contains mature content.
