The son of darkness is all grown up... James is a Guardian. He is tasked with protecting the most important person in his world. For eight years he has done his job without complaint, but he has grown tired of living under the shadow of a father who is responsible for the most unimaginable violence and destruction his world has ever known. Ainsley is at a loss for what to do with her life. She hates her two dead end jobs and the family who betrayed her. She has resigned herself to living one day at a time, but she longs for an escape from her lonely life. When Ainsley finds James in her bed, their two lives and worlds collide. They may have both found exactly what they need, but the darkness James has been running from his whole life has just caught up.

An undying love threatened by darkness... James' worst nightmare has come true. From the grave his father has poisoned the woman he loves, and James will do anything to save her. Ainsley is stuck in a world she barely knows. She struggles to come to terms with the new life she never asked for and her intense connection with James. When darkness threatens to destroy everything, they must face their greatest fears and the possibility their love is no match for the darkness.

A love more powerful than any other, and a darkness intent on destroying it. James and Ainsley are desperate. As darkness nearly consumes James, their only chance is to trust people who may be foes, and hope their love is strong enough to save them all.

A love that can transcend time... James has accepted the darkness, sealing both his and Ainsley's fate. The only thing that can save them now is another chance, and only Elron can provide one. With nowhere else to turn, they must journey to the realm of the dead to meet Ainsley's father, but that journey is nothing compared to the sacrifices they will have to make before they have a chance at a happily ever after.
