For decades, Rosalie Hale lived as an immortal frozen in time, quietly enduring a world that offered her everything except the one thing she truly longed for-a mate who was wholly, unconditionally hers.
Then came Lucien Morningstar.
Seeking a fresh start far away from his father Lucifer's dark domain, the heavy shadow of his family's ancient reputation, and the infernal politics of the underworld, the 19-year-old Demon Prince surfaces on Earth. Choosing the quiet, rain-slicked town of Forks, Washington, Lucien carves out a simple, grounded life: living alone in a secluded cabin in the woods, hitting the gym, catching local criminals, and sharing regular diner meals with his uncle, Chief Charlie Swan.
Towering at 6'7" with a commanding presence, warm caramel-brown eyes, and an fiercely protective nature, Lucien quickly becomes a beloved fixture in Forks. The townspeople respect him, admire his dedication as Charlie's fellow police officer, and always have his back-especially whenever his self-absorbed "first cousin" Isabella tries something reckless or bizarre.
Lucien desires nothing more than simple peace and honest duty. But as a Prince of Hell, his true nature-complete with demonic horns, long flowing hair, and eyes that bleed black with ink-like veins when his inner demon takes control-remains hidden beneath the surface, guarded by a fierce hatred for disrespect and any threat to those he holds dear.
When destiny finally aligns their paths, the ice around Rosalie's heart shatters. In Lucien, she finds a protector who isn't intimidated by her past, and in Rosalie, Lucien finds a soul worth defying heaven and hell for. But with Edward and Bella constantly stirring up trouble, and the lingering threat of his royal infernal heritage waiting in the shadows, keeping their newfound bond safe will demand every drop of power they possess.
