About this book

Cassiel has traded her lethal blade for the quiet solitude of running New Haven Books, desperate to bury her identity as a disgraced nephilim. After fleeing an oppressive family of demon hunters, she craves nothing more than a life defined by ink and parchment rather than blood and banishment. However, the shadows of her past are not so easily outrun when a seductive succubus named Avitue arrives, hunting for a soul she believes is rightfully hers.

What begins as a dangerous game of predatory cat-and-mouse quickly shifts into a complex, lyrical dance of mutual survival. As these two opposites collide, their forced proximity turns into a bargain that challenges everything they know about duty and desire. Within this atmospheric paranormal romance, the allure of demon-deals and the tension of a simmering reverse-harem dynamic push Cassiel to confront the trauma she has spent years suppressing.

This is a story of reclaiming one’s own narrative and healing from the wounds of religious expectation. As Cassiel and Avitue navigate their growing connection, they must dismantle the lies that have kept them captive. For readers seeking a raw, sapphic exploration of love found in the darkest places, this journey proves that sometimes, the fall is exactly what saves us.

I would not consider myself the target audience for this book. I’m not a big fan of romantasy, the enemies to lover’s trope, and of angelic lore and mythology. Despite all of that, you cannot...
