The Midnight Sea by Kat Ross
(Fourth Element #1)
Publication date: May 10th 2016
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult
Synopsis:
They are the light against the darkness.
The steel against the necromancy of the Druj.
And they use demons to hunt demons….
Nazafareen lives for revenge. A girl of the isolated
Four-Legs Clan, all she knows about the King’s elite Water Dogs is that they bind
wicked creatures called daevas to protect the empire from the Undead. But when
scouts arrive to recruit young people with the gift, she leaps at the chance to
join their ranks. To hunt the monsters that killed her sister.
Scarred by grief, she’s willing to pay any price, even if it
requires linking with a daeva named Darius. Human in body, he’s possessed of a
terrifying power, one that Nazafareen controls. But the golden cuffs that join
them have an unwanted side effect. Each experiences the other’s emotions, and
human and daeva start to grow dangerously close.
As they pursue a deadly foe across the arid waste of the
Great Salt Plain to the glittering capital of Persepolae, unearthing the
secrets of Darius’s past along the way, Nazafareen is forced to question his
slavery—and her own loyalty to the empire. But with an ancient evil stirring in
the north, and a young conqueror sweeping in from the west, the fate of an
entire civilization may be at stake…
