Description
Their ultimate gift. A hope for peace?
Being rich and famous isn’t the most bizarre life can get. Kara Valari has learned that in the most intense ways since falling in love with her gorgeous literature professor from their first fevered touch. Maximus Kane’s demigod blood has connected with her half-demon spirit, and the result is a passion that’s altered the stars themselves.
Still, Kara battles to shield Maximus from the freakish fallout due simply to her existence. Living in debt to the underworld is hard enough without the Hollywood celebrity machine as extra baggage.
But it’s a losing quest, as she learns in all the hard ways. After surviving a visit to hell, a catastrophe that’s crippled Los Angeles, and the sinister secrets of a sorceress’s ashram, Kara and Maximus discover that their toughest trials are still ahead. Twisted forces are plotting against Olympus, but at the risk of tearing apart the realms forever.
It’s a fate they must prevent at every cost — except one. In the name of that small hope, Maximus and Kara must join with allies they never anticipated and bond their love in ways they never expected.
Hope of Realms by Angel Payne captures the epic journey of love and legacy in a world where demigods and demons collide.
