5. House of Wings and Shadow by Julene Wood - a must read for all romantasy lovers! - Love is the deadliest weapon of all. In a world where gods still rule from the shadows, Braelyn Sarris has been raised in isolation, trained as a weapon and bound by dark secrets. When she's forced into a magical binding ceremony with Theo Katopodis, a notorious demigod known as the God Killer, she sees it as an opportunity to complete her mission: destroy his family from within. But Theo isn't what she expected, and neither is the ancient power stirring within her. As their antagonistic relationship evolves into something deeper, Braelyn discovers she's far more than a simple pawn in the games of gods. She is something ancient and deadly- a creature of shadow and death that even the gods fear. Now she must choose between her mission and her heart, while forces both divine and deadly conspire to either control or destroy her. In this dark fantasy romance, love and betrayal intertwine as Braelyn discovers that some chains bind more than just the body.
