Perfect for fans of the sizzling forbidden love of mortals and supernaturals, but no. . . this is not a werewolf story nor a vampire story.
Set in the late nineteenth-century Kalvsha, this is the story of Veronika Patrovich who remembers nothing from her past. But she knows something--something strange about the storms--far darker than she could have imagined.
Kalvsha has secrets. . . so does the storm.
The weak are prey for the strong. No paws nor fangs needed, just. . .
Smoke and Silence.

As a Wrath Demon, she is obliged to provide a certain number of human souls to the Fallen God every month so she can stay in the Human Realm. If she fails to do so, she'll be sent straight back to Hell. And it's not a nice place, even for demons. One day she follows the shady tip-off and finds herself in the middle of a gruesome crime scene as the main suspect. The lead investigator Melkyal, an Archangel of Justice, gives her a choice: she can help him find an actual perpetrator and get a clean slate, or refuse and spend a few weeks in jail for petty crimes. With looming deadlines, she can't afford to waste time. But teaming up with an angel can't be a good idea. Even though he seems reasonable and focused on finding the truth, he's still a mortal enemy. Sannarah has an opportunity to topple the unjust order plaguing her whole life, but the chances of success are slim, and the consequences of failure are unfathomable. Melkyal must choose between blind obedience to his god and trusting his own judgment.
