Clash of the Demigods

When the gods vanished, daemons took over protecting humans from the things that go bump in the night ... until daemons decide they deserve more. Orphaned young and raised by the military, Octavia only knows the world of duty and honor. When she discovers they're sacrificing people to create the ultimate super soldier, men engineered specifically to rid the world of what they consider the supernatural plague, she rebels and vows to do everything in her power to stop them. The last thing Octavia expects to find is daemons willing to help her survive. Or that she may be one of them. To make things worse, an ancient power has awakened inside her. Sworn to protect her, the daemons decide to teach her how to use her new abilities. They never expected to fall in love with their infuriatingly vexing charge, who maddeningly risks everything to get justice for past wrongs. If they can't find a way to remove the magic before the demigods discover the truth, Octavia will die when they rip it out of her, and the world will crumble into chaos.

TO KEEP THE WORLD SAFE FROM SUPERNATURALS, HUMANS PLAYED GOD AND ACCIDENTLY CREATED A SCOURGE THAT NOW THREATENS TO DESTROY EVERYTHING. Octavia barely survived her last meeting with the demigods, her very existence a threat to their carefully created dynasty. If given the chance, they wouldn't hesitate to come after her. When dead bodies start showing up, she is ordered to investigate. She suspects it's a carefully laid trap-if she doesn't uncover the killers, not only will more people die, but the fragile truce with the demigods will be nullified. Left with no choice, she follows the trail of dead bodies and discovers a new horror-a scourge that's killing both humans and daemons. Octavia and her men must stop those responsible, but if the scourge catches her first, she'll become their next victim. If she fails, the demigods will deem her unfit, and her mates will be force to return to a life of slavery. Now that they've finally found their mate, the guys will go to any extreme and sacrifice anything to make sure no harm comes to her, even if it means bringing down the wrath of the gods.

WHEN THE GODS THREATEN TO RETURN, THE CAREFUL BALANCE BETWEEN THE DAEMONS AND DEMIGODS CRUMBLES, AND WAR THREATENS THEIR VERY EXISTENCE. Many of the demigods believe Octavia is the key to the gods' return. If they kill her, the gods will remain imprisoned. The daemons believe she is the key to their survival. If she dies, all hope for the future will vanish with her. Octavia doesn't want to believe either version, but when she is ruthlessly stalked by something menacing, she fears they both might be right. The only thing keeping her sane is her mates. Octavia never expected to find love, and when one of her men gets in trouble, she risks everything to keep him safe - even if it will break her heart. As the gods rise, war hovers on the horizon, and the guys are afraid Octavia will sacrifice her soul to protect them. The guys make a deal with the devil himself to keep from losing her, but they aren't sure it'll be enough. Their love is strong enough to defy the gods - even death itself - but only if they're willing to gamble their lives... and the fate of the world.
