I am not crazy.
I am different, unexplainable. Magical.
The world is shifting beneath me, and I find myself no longer bound by the reality I once knew. This time, my own abilities simmer beneath the surface—an unexplored power awakening within me.
And now I am falling for the four men who have safeguarded me, wrecked me, and pieced me back together. Yet, part of me knows they are more than what they seem. Bound by secrets that tease and twirl at the edge of my consciousness, I can feel the echoes of a reality far more complex than I think I’m ready for.
But like everything else, these echoes don’t come alone. They’re shadowed by threats lurking out of sight, poised to tear us apart... to shatter me.
What happens when you plunge headlong into love with not just one, but four men, only to be torn apart by a fate more cruel than any destiny?
Time is running out. Will love, magic, and sacrifice be enough?

Revered is book 4 in this paranormal why choose series, meaning our FMC will have more than one love interest and won’t have to choose between them in the end. You need to have read the rest of the series to understand this one. Revered ends on a cliff-hanger, but the series will have a HEA in the next book, so enjoy!
The door bangs against the wall with more force than necessary, but I don’t give a flying fuck. It shouldn’t have taken me this long to get here, and even longer to be allowed to see Malia. My student. My torment.My client.
The idiot on the desk said her lawyer was present, but no fucking way am I about to let Malia go through whatever ambush this is without someone by her side. Something’s going on, we just can’t join the dots in the right order to get a clear picture.
I take in the scene before me. The two police officers look pissed at the interruption. I don’t give a shit about them. Malia, white as a sheet, is wincing under the grip some asshole has on her shoulder. Why is her ‘lawyer’ touching her like that?
My eyes snap to the lawyer and I’m already planning ways to kill him for putting hands on Malia when it registers who it is. Tanimola. No way is that asshole here, pretending to be a lawyer. Pretending to beherlawyer no less. He can fuck right off.
I knew he was up to something, and this just confirms it. But what? And did the elders send him, or is this an unsanctioned mission?
Definitely unsanctioned. He doesn’t evengoon missions. Yet another thing he’s bitter about and blames me for. Like I wouldn’t trade places with him in a heartbeat, if I could.
But then you would never have met Malia.
I could tell he wanted to argue with me in the interview room but couldn’t without blowing both of our covers. I need to add investigating him to my never ending to-do list.
He still has his nails digging into her shoulder, and I’m about ready to shed blood over it. I didn’t realise how invested in protecting her I was until I heard that she’d been taken again. It’s not even about the mission anymore.
It’s about her.
“Excuse me,Tanimola, but I believe you’re in the wrong place,” I spit. It’s all I can do without facing a murder charge. I’m good, but not good enough to get away with killing him in front of two officers in a police station.
“There’s no mistake. Miss Van der Zee has been assigned to me.”
I watch through narrowed eyes as his grip on Malia tightens and she grimaces at the pain. Yep. He’s going to die for that.
“She doesn’t need a lawyer,” I tell the room in general. “She has one.Me.”
“Miss Van der Zee, is this true?” One of the detectives asks Malia.
She confirms my identity – smart girl – and they question how I made it to the station before she was given her phone call.
“Her friend was present when you accosted her, and he contacted me immediately,” I answer for her, but she nods. Good girl.
“Very well.” The detective that spoke before sighs and turns to Tanimolawho still has a hold of Malia. I wish I could kill him a hundred times over; I want to tear him to pieces in the slowest, most excruciating ways possible. “It would seem you’re not needed.”
With a low growl that bares his teeth, he finally releases Malia and storms from the room, giving me a wide berth as he goes.
I need to check if Malia’s okay.
“I would like a moment alone with my client please, to check everything is in order before we begin.”
