In a world divided by sky and earth, angels rule with cold superiority while demons embrace the outcasts of the world below. Putri Henrietta, the sheltered and timid princess of Celestara, has spent her life caged in her grandfather's illusions, never questioning the truth of her world. Meanwhile, Viorel Colhert, the serious and duty-bound demon prince, sees love as a distraction in a kingdom always preparing for war.
When fate brings Putri to Noctyra, she is forced to confront the lies she was raised to believe-and the demon prince who challenges everything she knows. Drawn to Viorel's quiet strength, she finds herself torn between fear and an unfamiliar longing, while Viorel, despite his detached nature, cannot ignore the fragile angel who stirs something deep within him.
But love between an angel and a demon is a crime, and when Celestara discovers their secret, Putri is forced back into her golden prison. With war on the horizon and betrayal in the air, Viorel must decide-will he abandon the only love he has ever known, or will he defy heaven itself to bring her back?

The truth, she realizes, couldn't be more different from everything she has heard. Supported by her father, Haley sets her mind on helping Xavier any way she can, and what begins with tutoring sessions, free food, and random acts of kindness blooms into friendship and something a little more.
