Asuriel Draelith thought she was human. On her 25th birthday, that illusion shattered.

The forbidden blood in her veins awakened, and with it, a prophecy that binds her to a fate she doesn’t understand—and a body that is slowly falling apart. She has one year to live, unless she can uncover the truth behind her existence.

Enter Vaerion Sinclair—enigmatic, powerful, and undeniably dangerous. He’s a devil with his own agenda, and unfortunately for both of them, his life is now tied to hers. Bound together by forces beyond their control, they must navigate an underworld of infernal corruption, supernatural crime syndicates, celestial politics, and a prophecy that could unmake reality itself.

With time running out and enemies closing in, Asuriel must master the ink magic that flows through her soul, outwit devils and angels alike, and survive the war brewing in the shadows. Because the deeper she digs, the more she realizes…

She was never meant to exist. And the other realms will do anything to erase her.

Darkly seductive, wickedly sharp, and laced with tension, this novel is an adult fantasy romance revolving around fate, power, and the dangerously thin line between love and destruction.

"When you said you would drive us home, I didn't think it would be like this…" Asuriel trailed off anxiously.

Vaerion chuckled. "Like what?" He was straddling a beautiful red motorcycle, revving the bike to life while she stood to the side apprehensively.

Asuriel's stomach churned, both out of excitement and fear. "Like, on a motorcycle. I'm wearing a dress; I can't sit on it properly."

"Hmm… you're right." Vaerion looked her up and down a few times before smirking. He motioned for her to come closer, and when she obeyed, he outstretched his index finger – a finger that quickly turned into a devilish claw.

Asuriel could tell what he was going to do, "Wait-"

Too late. He snagged the silk with the long, pointed fingernail and dragged it upward, creating a long slit in the fabric. Asuriel's thigh was exposed, and the runes stirred with anticipation at his touch.
