Why we’re excited
Savitar has spent centuries hiding from what he is: an immortal Chthonian, born to shield humans from predatory gods and hunted for it. After walking away from a prophecy, he finds that his past and his enemies have caught up with him.
Savitar has been a mysterious presence across Kenyon's long-running Dark-Hunter books, and longtime readers have waited a long time for his own story. Newcomers will miss many references, so starting earlier in the series makes sense. Fans who know the character will want this one most.

What to know about Savitar
We haven’t reviewed Sherrilyn Kenyon before, so this would be our first look at their work.
From the publisher
Being born human is hard enough.
Being born a Chthonian is a curse.
Centuries ago, Savitar learned the hard way that he was not only immortal but destined to protect humans from the gods who preyed upon them—and those powers made him a target, hunted by the gods and by those who feared them alike.
Alone, he survived on his wits, denying who and what he truly was.
Then he met the one creature who would change him forever, and glimpsed a prophecy he’d never dreamed existed. But things rarely unfold as they should, least of all when enemies are bent on your destruction. So Savitar withdrew from the world, refusing his destiny and the prophecy along with it.
Now… both are back, and his enemies with them. They will force him to take a side at last: his hard-won peace and his very existence, or the world as we know it.
Two destinies lie before him.
Only one can save humanity.
