Claimed by Darkness (Broken Gods, 1)

In a world governed by the iron-fisted rule of the gods, mortality is a fragile currency. Elara has spent her entire life hiding, surviving on the fringes of a society that views her existence as a dangerous anomaly. But in a realm where celestial beings demand absolute worship, secrets are bound to be unearthed, and Elara’s discovery of a hidden relic thrusts her into a conflict far deadlier than she ever imagined. When the gods themselves take notice, the hunter becomes the hunted. Thrust into a harrowing game of power and survival, Elara finds herself caught between forces that defy logic and morality. She is entangled with two complex, enigmatic figures—one who offers a path to forbidden redemption and another who embodies the brutal allure of the void itself. As she navigates this web of desire, betrayal, and ancient magic, Elara must decide whether to bow to the deities who claim ownership of her soul or to ignite a rebellion that could incinerate the heavens. Claimed by Darkness is an electrifying start to the Broken Gods series, blending high-stakes fantasy with intense, unconventional romance. It is a haunting exploration of autonomy, the allure of darkness, and the cost of freedom.
