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

Sera felt her heart bursting at the sight of him standing there, alive. She let out a cry of relief. 


Zane’s eyes were locked on Sera, his mouth tightened as he stepped into the demolished penthouse, taking in her disheveled and tied up state. 


“Zane, she’s-” Sera’s voice was cut off by the black smoke, slapping across her mouth. 


Hestia turned from her inspection of Lonny, her head lifting to greet their visitor, a small smile playing on her lips. 


Zane’s attention diverted to Hestia as the two locked gazes. Hestia’s amusement slid from her face—surprise, disbelief, and then cruel delight slashed across her features. 


“I’d recognize those eyes anywhere,” she insisted, glowing at the arrival of the creature’s presence. How long she had waited for this moment. He looked the same as the day she left him to die in those marsh lands.
