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

Number 1 took a step forward, her eyes gleaming like a creature deprived of all else but the hunt. “You’ve given us a nice little chase,” she went on, “but now it’s time to go home.”


“What do you want?” Sera asked, her body completely still, ready for any sudden attack. 


“We,” Number 2 spat with annoyance, “don’t want anything. Just to give you over to the boss and get you off of our hands. We’ve been locked in this damn house for too long already,” he snarled.


“Who is your boss?” Zane demanded. 


Number 1 grinned at him with malice, “You’re going to meet the boss very soon. Now I’ll tell you one more time and then things are going to get ugly. You come with us or-”


Sera moved with lightning speed, her aim directed at the Gryi who was a few steps closer to her than the one speaking. He flung her to the side, his claws swiping viciously in her direction.


“I was expecting this,” Number 2 snapped, his teeth gritted together as Number 1 screamed over the ruckus.
