Luna was born of two worlds-half human, half witch-and cursed with a power unlike anything ever seen. A power everyone wants. Hunted from the moment her magic awakened, Luna becomes prey to forces darker than nightmares. Witches crave her power. Monsters stalk her every breath. And at the center of it all stands the Devil himself-alongside his merciless right hand, Azriel, the most feared demon in existence. To keep her alive, a demon is bound to her... sworn to protect her, to deliver her to safety no matter the cost. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. At least... that's what he was supposed to be. Because the longer they travel together-through blood, fire, and chaos-the more dangerous things become. Not just from the enemies hunting her... but from the tension building between them. The way his touch lingers too long. The way his gaze burns hotter than hell itself. The way he looks at her like she's something he shouldn't want... but can't stay away from. He is a demon. She is everything he was never meant to protect... and definitely never meant to desire. But in a world where betrayal is inevitable and power is everything, Luna soon realizes the truth- The greatest threat to her life isn't the Devil. It's the demon who swore to guard her... and the feelings neither of them can escape. Because falling for him might be the one thing that finally destroys her.
