Destiny Kills

Myth and Magic #1 / 2
by Keri Arthur
Destiny Kills (Myth and Magic #1) by Keri Arthur
Unrated

Desire calls. Danger Lurks.
But...

When Destiny McCree wakes up beside a dead man on an Oregon beach, she knows only this: she has to keep moving, keep searching, and keep one step ahead of the forces that have been pursuing her from the heart of Scotland to this isolated spot. Why? The death of her lover has left her alone, with little memory of her past. A glimmering serpent-shaped ring is the one clue she has – and a bargaining chip in a most dangerous game.

Enter Trae Wilson, a master thief with a sexy, knowing grin and a secret agenda of his own. Destiny and Trae both have powers far beyond the human – and both are running for their lives. Together they're riding a tide of danger, magic, and lust... but with killers stalking their every move, they must use any means necessary, even each other, to survive – until the shocking secret of one woman’s destiny finally unravels...

Keri Arthur

Keri Arthur

In the shadowed spaces where magic meets mayhem, few authors conjure tension and tenderness with the same precision as Keri Arthur. Known for weaving the supernatural into gritty, emotionally rich narratives, Arthur has earned her place as a cornerstone of urban fantasy. Her breakout Riley Jenson Guardian series didn’t just capture imaginations—it helped shape a genre, fusing paranormal romance with high-stakes action and unapologetically complex heroines.

But Arthur’s world-building doesn’t stop with vampires and werewolves. Across dozens of novels and multiple series—including Lizzie Grace, Souls of Fire, and the newer Drakkon Kin Trilogy—she explores themes of identity, loyalty, and power in all its dangerous forms. Her characters, often women bound by duty and haunted by loss, walk the line between light and dark, navigating magical politics and personal reckonings with equal grit.

Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, Arthur began her creative journey in the quieter corners of everyday life. She once worked as a cook, and that grounded perspective—the sense of duty, resilience, and resourcefulness—echoes in her protagonists. While her stories dive deep into fantastical realms, there’s always something deeply human anchoring them: the weight of choices, the ache of loneliness, the fire of survival.

Arthur’s work has been translated into several languages, landed on bestseller lists, and continues to resonate with readers around the world. She remains a fiercely independent voice in speculative fiction, consistently delivering fresh takes on classic mythologies. Whether she’s introducing readers to ancient relics, bloodline magic, or dragon-kin royalty, she writes with a clear reverence for character-driven storytelling—and a knack for keeping readers up way too late.

For fans of atmospheric urban fantasy with teeth, heart, and heat, Arthur's stories offer a gateway to worlds that feel both wild and eerily familiar.
