Slavic mythology, Damian’s Oracle is the entree into the ongoing battle between
good and evil over the fate of humanity. The White God, Damian, and his
Guardians protect the world from the Black God and his monsters while rescuing
Naturals – humans with extraordinary paranormal gifts – from the Black God, who
would kill or convert them. Caught in the middle is cool-headed Sofia, a
Natural whose gift will tip the scales in the war. Sofia begins her
transformation from human into oracle, the first in thousands of years. Damian
rescues her from the Black God in time to complete a ceremony that will bind
her to him for eternity. Sofia struggles with her new world and her role as an
oracle and Damian’s mate while haunted by a mysterious man from Damian’s past
who’s supposed to be dead. Unbeknownst to her, her link to the dead man may be
all that saves Damian, his Guardians, and the fate of humanity. While he wants
nothing more than for the petite beauty to take her place at his side like the
oracles of legend did his White God forefathers, Damian can’t quite rationalize
having to win her over instead of command her. Further complicating his life is
the sobering realization that there are spies in his organization who are
helping the Black God take out his Guardians. Damian must help Sofia reach her
potential fast, especially when a threat from his past returns.
