She keeps people alive. He's the reason they stay dead. Sable Maren is a paramedic on Chicago's South Side. She's good at her job -- steady hands, sharp instincts, the kind of calm that only comes from years of watching people have the worst day of their lives. She doesn't need anyone. She doesn't trust anyone. And she definitely doesn't believe in anything she can't put on a twelve-lead.
Then her hands start doing impossible things.
When Sable discovers she can sense the membrane between life and death -- and pull people back from the other side -- her carefully controlled world begins to fracture. The nosebleeds get worse. The insomnia gets worse. Something vast and ancient is pressing against the barrier between worlds, and it knows her name.
His name is Kael. He is not human.
He's a god of thresholds -- six thousand years old, impossibly beautiful, and the only being who can teach her to survive what she's becoming. Every moment she spends near him makes the screaming in her bones go quiet.
He doesn't tell her why.
He doesn't tell her that the last woman whose power matched his died because of him -- slowly, over three hundred years, consumed by the very connection that kept her alive.
He doesn't tell her that he has no intention of letting her go.
As the barriers between worlds continue to fail and a darker god rises -- one that feeds on the gifted and has taken someone Sable loves -- she must decide how far she's willing to go. How much she's willing to pour out. And whether the man whose touch silences the storm is saving her or slowly draining her dry.
THRESHOLD is a dark urban romantasy featuring a morally complex hero, a heroine who fights with competence instead of prophecy, and a love story built on the question: what does it cost to love something that was never designed to love you back?
Book One of the Threshold Trilogy.
