Mar King (Mar King #1)

It’s been four years since Dexter Bennet failed to protect his sweet and delicate Sara Mar King from the world’s plague. He’s ready to surrender when she barges through his camp, wielding an arcane power and no longer needing his protection. A second chance at love has Dexter committing himself to Sara’s journey. He must cross the forest wastelands riddled with monstrous screechers and treacherous elements to help her reach Mount Verta.

Yet, something’s amiss about Sara’s mission. When he uncovers her deadly secret, it makes him question who is protecting whom.
