Death chose Seraphine Valen long before she chose herself. Eighteen years old and soaked in the blood of everyone she ever loved, she rises from the carnage with something no mortal should possess: the power to command death itself. A single touch snuffs out life. A single thought bends destruction to her will. The darkness inside her is awake... and hungry. Her awakening draws the Banes, creatures of nightmare and hunger, eager to possess the weapon she has become. Fleeing a world unraveling into ruin, Seraphine is taken into Death's Castle-an ancient labyrinth where the walls remember every soul that's ever screamed. There she meets an unlikely trinity of allies: a diviner who sees the threads of fate fraying, a war vampire addicted to blood and battle, and a brute whose strength is matched only by his fierce loyalty. But as her ancestry unfolds-a legacy woven from dark and light-a deeper horror stirs in the void, older than gods, older than death. And it has been waiting for her.

Katrina Levour is used to being obeyed. She is the CEO of Levour Fashion, which means everyone in her life bends to her will. Her employees want promotions, her models want recognition, and her 'friends' want access to her life of glamour and luxury. Everyone in her life wants something from her, and they are willing to fake smiles and play nice to get it. Everyone except Coal. Coal is not nice. He is the most beautiful man to ever grace her camera, and yet he is unbearably arrogant and wildly disrespectful. And Katrina can't help but want to 'whip' him into shape. For Coal, and Coal alone, she decides to make a little time in her busy schedule for some 'fun'. Coal Ryder is no ordinary Model. At least he doesn't think so. He has been praised for his beauty since he was a child, and now, standing at 6'4 with rock-solid abs and a chiseled jaw, he is rising through the modeling ranks alarmingly fast. However, one person stands between him and his modeling dreams: Katrina Levour. She seems to hate everything about him. She saves only the the most embarrassing photo shoots for him and does everything in her power to torment him at work. However, Coal doesn't mind the torment. In fact, the longer he is around Katrina, the more he begins to crave her demeaning words and sharp tongue. What will happen when Katrina and Coal decide to take their fighting from work... to the bedroom.
