About this book

Celine was a museum clerk living for her father, until a single act of kindness ignited an ancient prophecy, branding her with celestial symbols and marking her as the most hunted woman on Earth. Suddenly thrust into the gothic, high-stakes world of the Nexus Academy, she finds herself caught in the crossfire of a brutal celestial war. Here, angels and demons coexist in a fragile, volatile truce, and Celine is the catalyst that could either save or shatter both realms.

Her survival hinges on four immortal warriors, each bound to her by a cosmic pull they cannot resist. From the ruthless angel commander haunted by past failures to the ancient demon lord who has waited millennia for her return, these guardians are as dangerous as they are devoted. This reverse-harem dynamic is raw and visceral, pulling Celine into a dark-romance web where every touch is a threat and every protection comes at a price.

This is a gripping second-chance paranormal romance that blends historical atmosphere with intense, supernatural tension. If you crave stories where the stakes are eternal and the men are as deadly as they are obsessed, step into the halls of the Nexus Academy. Your next obsession starts with First Blood.

First Blood

A good start to this series. Love all the MMC’s and their different personalities and how they react to and interact with the FMC Celine. I’m still on the fence about her. She has a good heart, but she comes off weak and selfish at times. The story flows well and I get a good picture of the story that Ms. Madden is telling. Definitely will continue on with the series and hopefully see what Celine has to do in fighting this war along side her guardians. ) One person found this helpful
