But Silas is no ordinary demon. Torn between his dark nature and a desire to protect Layla, Silas is forced to confront not only the monstrous side of himself but also a centuries-old prophecy that intertwines his fate with Layla's. As Layla unravels the truth about her own mysterious past, she learns that she's not just an ordinary woman and her true identity could shift the balance of power in a world teetering on the brink of destruction.

As passions ignite and secrets unravel, Layla and Silas find themselves caught in a deadly game of supernatural politics, betrayal, and forbidden love. The pull between them is undeniable, but can Layla trust the very demon she's falling for? Or will their enemies destroy everything before they can find redemption?

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.
