Zane is cursed. A magical creature trapped in the body of a human man. As hard as he tries to hate mortals, he cannot deny that he feels a strange connection to a certain woman…
Sera has been alone her entire life. She is a young social worker who spends her days attempting to heal her broken city. She is destined to an arranged marriage, a life and social status she cannot seem to fit into. Lonny, her fiancé, who has just been released from prison, is hoping to win Sera's heart back, despite all the pain he caused her.
Zane is bitter, jaded, and has given up on finding his way back to himself. Until Sera, the only one who can see Zane's true form, stumbles into his life.
When Sera pledges to help Zane break his curse, the two are plunged into a dangerous, fantastical adventure that will teach them the sacrifice of self-acceptance, the heartache of true love, and what it ultimately means…to be human.

Confinement

They’d somehow managed to find shelter in a hollowed out oak on the edge of the teeming marsh lands. The cacophony of the night rose around them as all sorts of howls, clicking, shrieking and various footsteps echoed throughout the boggy land. 


Sera felt herself jumping at every sound and asking Zane to explain what each one was. She had to admit, his patience with her was astounding. He carefully described each of the creatures she heard moving about in the darkness around them. She’d asked him if he wanted her to start a fire and remove some of the damp chill from their bones, but Zane insisted they stay in the dark to avoid attracting any unwanted attention. 


“We're being hunted,” he reminded her. Zane's eyes narrowed as he recalled how their morning started, "Besides, haven't you had your fill of arson for the day?"
