Tempest
Guardian Shadow
World, Book 5
by
Kris Michaels
In the dark world of a Guardian’s Shadow, an axiom
exists: “Don’t. Get. Caught."
His code name was Tempest, and his enemy caught him.
Stratus did unspeakable things to him until, out of
his mind, he prayed for death—but he’d never broken faith with his brothers.
God, how he wished they knew that. He had not compromised them. He’d told
Stratus nothing. Cast aside as useless, left to starve or die of his injuries,
his broken body lay in a bare cell, forgotten, and Tempest knew his prayer for
the end would be answered shortly.
Until her. She made him want to live—if only to help
her escape.
Not all devils are male. The worst are female. Pilar
had lived with one every day of her life—a woman who made a mockery of the word
“mother.” When the woman couldn’t manipulate or intimidate her into doing as
she wished, she threw Pilar into a cell with a man—or what was left of a
man—admonishing her to, “see what happens to people who don’t give me what I
want.” At the sight of his broken body, a fierce desire to provide solace and
comfort trumped any sort of fear her mother thought to provoke—and an
unshakeable bond was formed. As laughable as it seemed at the time, they each
vowed to help the other escape.
His fellow Shadow rescued Tempest. Pilar knew he’d
return for her if he lived. For thirty-three months, twelve days, five hours,
and forty-three minutes, she faithfully monitored a hidden dropbox for his
message. She almost missed it, and then she doubted her eyes.
“I’m coming for you.”
