Book blurb:
Forgiveness is a hollow prayer you only hear in your dreams.
Patrick Collins has spent years handling cases as a special agent for the Supernatural Operations Agency, even as his secret standing in the preternatural world has changed. He should have confessed to his role as co-leader of the New York City god pack when he and Jonothon de Vere took up the mantle months ago, but he didn’t. Now that split loyalty will cost him at a time when he can least afford it.
Outmaneuvered, framed for murder, and targeted by the Dominion Sect, Patrick has to face a past full of lies to regain his freedom. Revealing the truth means he’ll need to give up the life that has defined him. Everything he’s fought to build with his pack is at stake, and losing them isn’t a price Patrick is willing to pay, but some choices aren’t his to make.
Jono knows they can’t cede any more territory if they want to win the god pack civil war spilling into the streets of New York City. But the souls of werecreatures are free for the taking when demons come to town and angels sing a warning no one can ignore. When Jono’s worst fear comes to life, and he loses the one person he can’t live without, the only option left is to fight.
Facing down the demons of their past and the ones in their present, Patrick and Jono will learn the hard way that some sins never wash away clean.
An Echo in the Sorrow is a 118k word m/m urban fantasy with a gay romantic subplot. It is a direct sequel to On the Wings of War. Reading the first book in the series would be helpful in enjoying this one.
“This is quite a mess you’re in,” Setsuna said.
Patrick eyed where she sat across the conference room table from him in Danai’s law firm. Setsuna looked tired, and he wondered how many political attacks she’d taken since his arrest. He’d read through a handful of news stories painting him in a negative light before Jono had taken away his phone so he’d actually eat breakfast.
The food Jono had made him sat like a rock in his stomach. As nice as the gesture was, and as much as Patrick missed eating food that wasn’t made in jail kitchen, his appetite was nosediving. Stress made everything taste sour.
“You can’t be surprised this happened,” Patrick said.
Setsuna pursed her lips, glancing at where Jono sat next to Patrick on his side of the table. “I’m not. I warned you of the risks, but it wasn’t my place to stop you.”
Jono’s grip on Patrick’s thigh tightened, his words coming out sharp. “Not like you could.”
This wasn’t how Patrick had thought Jono and Setsuna would ever meet. His preference would’ve been they never met in person at all, but that was no longer an option. They were both too stubborn and hardheaded, neither willing to give an inch when it came to what they thought was best for him. Sighing, Patrick settled his hand over Jono’s and shot Sage and Wade a pleading look where they sat farther down the table.
Sage frowned but didn’t give voice to her opinion while Wade very loudly chewed on the chip he shoved into his mouth.
