Sins of the Fathers, Tome 1 : Malakai

Résumé

He called himself the “ugly duckling” but forgets the end of that story. The ugly duckling is actually a swan.

Malakai Pretor doesn’t live a charmed life. In fact, it’s the opposite. He works long hours in a diner and goes home to an abusive man each night. He has a couple of friends and secret dreams of how life should be, but he mostly settles into life as it is.

Then he gets a letter, one that changes his life. An estranged relative passes and leaves him everything. The attorneys that are in charge of the estate are overly handsome and cryptic, but he forgets all that once he learns his life can truly change.

Death and an investigation lead off his new life and start to unsettle him only a little less than the fact his body and face seem to be changing. He’s growing more handsome by the day, wounds heal before they can fully form, and things start happening to him that makes no sense.

When he travels to his new home, things look bright, but Malakai isn’t convinced his luck has changed. He resists advances by beautiful men until one comes along set to kill him, but instead makes him believe that his dreams had indeed finally come true.

What power does the pendant left to him truly have? Who is the man that raised him, the one he thought was his father all his life? Who were his mother and mysterious grandmother? He has questions that need answers and once he discovers the truth, he’ll never be the same.
