Synopsis (Goodreads):
Would he save her or be her damnation?Thoughts on Destined to the Wraith: Ronika's in a rough spot. She can either roll over and let a truly terrible necromancer take her home and probably enslave her deceased family with his power or she can attempt to gain the help of a wraith who can drain her life with a touch. Both seem equally impossible, but Ronika would rather go down fighting than hand over her home to the necromancer.
Hounded by a necromancer hellbent on appropriating her ancestral lands, Ronika must recover an ancient relic from a cursed mansion to keep her enemy at bay. To do so, she requires an escort. Convincing an enraged wraith to help seems like an impossible task. But she discovers that the being behind the billowing shadows is an honorable protector who moves her in an unexpected fashion.
After centuries of terrorizing the land while lost to madness, Asheron cannot believe this fragile human, with her weak green magic, has managed to bring back his sanity. Ronika’s incredible strength, fearless determination, and the gentle way she touches him soothes the monster he has become and awakens a powerful longing and possessiveness in him. But she does not realize the deadliness of the deal she has struck to defend her land.
He will stop at nothing to protect the woman who has claimed his heart. But will Asheron’s efforts bring about Ronika’s salvation or doom them both?
So she sets out to bargain with a wraith.
As it turns out, Asheron as the wraith is...not quite in his right mind. Fortunately, Ronika has an ace or two up her sleeve and manages to intrigue him enough to bring out his more mortal side and convince him to help her. Also fortunately, Asheron's mortal form (and his wraith form, come to think) doesn't disgust Ronika and she's able to fulfill her end of the bargain. (Something she doesn't mind IN THE LEAST doing.)
On Asheron's end, helping Ronika is a no-brainer. She gives him the sort of peace he hasn't experienced since he became a wraith and he's determined to work on making their partnership something more permanent. They just have a mansion crawling with foul things to survive and a necromancer to thwart before they can do that happily ever after thing.
A truly awful necromancer, a whole lot of danger, the mysterious Weaver who very much wants Ronika to succeed, a wraith with a powerful protective streak, and a green witch who will go to any lengths to protect her home. *thumbs up*
