Broken by Nikki Darlene

“Who she is, I couldn’t say. She’s faceless, and though I can’t name her to save my life, it feels like knowing her will, in fact, save my life.” Malakai has spent his life trying to control the darkness that has shaped him into the creation he never wanted to be. Thanks to his father’s countless years of abuse, Malakai used this darkness to become a monster he hardly recognizes, dangling on a fine line of sanity. When his union’s most prestigious team goes missing on a mission to take down the world’s darkest demon alive, Malakai is determined to win over the success his father never could, quickly discovering that the truth is hard to come by. He’s caught in a tight web of family dysfunction and relationship battles, tangled in the lies of blood debt turned into arranged marriages, multi-God lore, and a mysterious girl who appears in a dream. Despite it all, this ruthless demon hunter slowly finds himself putting the pieces of who he was back together again the moment he meets her. She is the keeper of secrets, and with a pulse that sounds like euphoria, she is the puppet master of his critical thinking. Malakai can't explain the hold she has on him, or why he feels something about her is tied to the demon world. He can’t even justify his trust in her. There is only one thing he knows to be certain. When he’s with her, Malakai feels less… broken.
