The angel of death wants me to be his wife. Most days, I steal from ships to earn a living. Not glamorous, admittedly, but it's honest work. Okay, fine. It isn't honest either, but it means I get to eat. Until one night, a sinfully sexy angel strides into my favorite dance hall and compels me to work for him. It isn't just work, though. He wants me to be his wife in Castle Hades. Apparently, his prophetic dreams say I'll help him become king. Beautiful as he is, he's also a lethal tyrant. And I could be in danger. Luckily, I know how to fight back, how to weaken an angel: I must seduce him. Now, this is a battle, and he’s my beautiful enemy. We are fighting with weapons of desire, and we're both at risk of losing ourselves in this war. For readers of Laura Thalassa, Linsey Hall, and Sarah J. Maas.

The angel of death locked me in one of his castle rooms, surrounded by books and delicious food. Not bad, right? Except for the loneliness, and the lust-fueled dreams that torment me every night. Specifically, dreams of Samael. And did I mention a psychotic ghost keeps trying to kill me? Because no one else believes me about that. Now, I’m desperate to get out of the castle and hunt down the murderous Free Men who led to my imprisonment. Samael wants to destroy them, too. We have the same goal, but don't trust each other. When distrust shifts into passion, it only makes things more complicated. Despite what we feel, we’re destined to be enemies. If we can’t rewrite our fates, we will lose each other forever—and one of us will end up dead.

I'm struggling with my evil side—the demon known as Lilith—and only Samael can help me. Unfortunately, he thinks we're dangerous for each other—just because we murdered each other in past lives. And even worse, he believes he has to marry a mortal to keep me safe. A genuinely terrible mortal woman, I might add. But with the Free Men growing in power, we must join forces to stop their evil army. As we journey through Albia searching for them, we are drawn even closer together, bound by desire and our twisted love. As far as I can tell, one of two things will happen: either we will overcome our past, and defeat the Free Men together. Or our dark history will have us turning into monsters and tearing each other to pieces. I'm hoping for the first one.
