Legends call him the Defender of the North. To his Darkborn brethren, he is loyal, passionate, and far too cocky for his own good. Probably NSFW...

If Sylas is the flame that leads, Thorne is the blaze left in his wake.
Swoon-worthy and outspoken, Thorne seeks the silver lining, even in the darkest times. But threaten those he holds dear and the true games begin.

Thorne was born to protect and destroy in equal measure long before he became Darkborn. Hel’s curse only honed him, creating a creature who both breaks hearts and eats them. But beneath the lust and hunger is fear. For all mortals are fragile, their lives fleeting. They die, and loving one is something he will never risk again.

Or so he thinks.

My muscles ache with unspent energy, a familiar hunger gnawing from the inside out as the female beneath me claws her fingernails into my back, her breasts bouncing, the scent of sweat and blood permeating her as our skin slaps against one another.

She’s more than a willing vessel, and that she gives herself to me freely—that she wants me and isn’t disgusted by the thought of me—only makes my cock harder.

I bite into her neck, and she arches against me with a gasp, our satisfaction instant.

But in that moment, it is Imara’s heartbeat I detect in the distance. Imara’s scent I smell and crave.

No.
— Bloodborn, Book One of the Darkborn Saga

Yet every time he looks at Imara, the lie frays a little more. For all his control, he is still ruled by the one thing he cannot command: his own heart.
