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

Zane groaned as he opened his eyes. Morvil was leaning over him, his face filled with concern. 


Zane nodded slowly, running his hands down his bandaged torso with confusion, his vision swaying in doubles.


Morvil let out a sigh of relief. “I patched you up as best I could. You’re going to be sore but most of the damage has healed,” he looked around in wonder, “What the hell happened here?”


Morvil was not entirely shocked to return to his house blown apart and Zane bleeding out on the floor. He'd jumped into action, quickly using his most intense healing powers to slow the bleeding and bind Zane’s wounds. Sera promised him she would behave, apparently that was not the case. 


Zane sat up carefully, feeling his head spin. He shook it clear as Morvil handed him a glass of water. He drank desperately, feeling the ache in this throat. Then it hit him, he’d been screaming for Sera. 


He immediately tried to get to his feet.
