In the quiet town of Paradise, Lyra has spent her life hiding in plain sight - haunted by dreams that feel more like memories, chased by whispers no one else seems to hear. She believes she is ordinary... until the day a stranger walks into her café.
Alastor Morningstar is no ordinary man. Son of Lucifer. Heir to the Shadow Realm. Executioner of angels. A creature who vowed never to love - and has never once broken a vow.
Until Lyra.
But Lyra is not simply a girl with gentle smiles and soft laughter. She is the Hollow-born - a prophecy Heaven wants erased and Hell wants claimed. Angels hunt her. Demons crave her. And in the corners of her dreams, something ancient watches, waiting for her to remember its name.
As the realms tilt toward war, Alastor is torn between desire and duty, loyalty and damnation. And Lyra must face what she's becoming - a power forged of ash and flame, destined either to restore balance... or end creation.
Together, they will learn the truth:
Love can be salvation.
Love can be ruin.
And in a world where vows demand blood,
even devotion can become a weapon.
Heaven says destroy her. Hell says bind her.
He says - mine.
