Dark Angel

Lauriel has witnessed his soulmate's brutal death in over one hundred lifetimes. In the 13th century, when a demon plagued their village, Rosalind was offered as a virgin sacrifice, her soul taken by the malicious creature.

Lauriel was willing to do anything to save her soul from damnation, offering his own to the heavens. He became Rosalind's guardian angel, chasing her soul through time and countless deaths. Only when her soul is saved can he save her.

But, as Rosalind is murdered again and again, seemingly drawn to darkness, Lauriel is beginning to grow tired and resentful. Rosalind has no memory of her past life, each time she fails to trust Laurence, let alone fall in love with him. Lauriel once believed he and Rosalind were fated to be with one another, but as the world crumbles into darkness, he begins to think they weren't fated but doomed.

Now, all Lauriel wants is to be free of his curse that is Rosalind. Long ago, he stopped caring for her. Now, she is just a means to an end.

But, in the present time, as the world is falling to darkness, he meets a new version of Rosalind. Lenny isn't the virgin maiden he lost hundreds of centuries ago. She is shaped by trauma, hardened by the past, and more damned than damsel.

This version of Rosalind isn't just dangerous because of her recklessness. She's part of a bigger plot involving the demons and their lord. If Lauriel doesn't save Lenny this time, it isn't just Rosalind's soul in danger of damnation.
