Introducing Marley, a 19 year old teen who sees herself as multiple genders, multiple people, and even multiple ages. Shortly after her birthday arrives, she plans to kill herself within a month after turning her new age. Within that month, Marley lives as reckless as possible. Even winding up in jail. Soon after, the day comes up where it's time.. except a mysterious opportunity awaits her, forcing her to realize it's only once that we live. Will she decide to take life more seriously; grabbing it by the balls and squeezing it, or just blatantly end it young? .. Leaving a generational curse to repeat itself all over again, until an other kin decides to step up and change the dynamic.
After the death of her mother, Lilith Anders is left in the care of her cousin. Everyone knows that.
What they don't piece together is that, with her arrival, the crime rates have gone down. Suddenly new evidence surfaces, and every one of the disturbing cold cases are put to rest.
The most heinous ones everyone fears to touch. No decent human being would be able to follow the macabre details to the killer. And yet, they're found half dead on doorsteps. It all starts with Lilith.
After all, it takes a demon to fight one.

"Who are you?"
"I'm the bastard child of a fallen king, and the daughter of a holy queen."
Realization flickers in his eyes, swiftly replaced by dread.
"You do realize, if your fated one is in my pack, I cannot allow you to be united."
"That's a given. I'm only here to pray for the fallen by inacting justice on the demons."
"Don't underestimate the bond."
"Oh, I won't. I've severed it long ago."
