About this book
Brax has spent centuries clawing his way through the hierarchy of Hell, fueled by ambition and a singular, ironclad goal: to become a crowned prince. Standing on the precipice of ultimate power, he is handed one final, lethal assignment. He must corrupt and claim the soul of Maggie Westbrook, a seventeen-year-old whose pure, celestial essence is the catalyst for the coming apocalypse. For a demon of his standing, it should have been the easiest task of his immortal life.
Instead, Brax finds himself ensnared in a dangerous game where the stakes are far higher than a throne. As he shadows Maggie, he discovers she is a Nephilim, a being of forbidden light who threatens to shatter his resolve and rewrite his destiny. What begins as a cold, calculated mission quickly spirals into a dark romance defined by agonizing choices and soul-searing passion.
This intense paranormal romance forces readers to ask the unthinkable: would you sacrifice everything—even your own soul—for a love that was never meant to be? With its high-stakes tension, royal demonic hierarchy, and a forbidden connection between heaven and hell, this series opener is a visceral, emotionally charged journey that will leave you breathless and desperate for more.

Wow this was intense! KG Reuss sure knows how to write! My emotions were all over the place. I actually cried! This book is about a demon, Brax, who isn't looking for redemption, but he sure gets it.

These two fall in love, but they have so many things working against them. I kept thinking there is no...

While I knew when I purchased this book it was first in a series, it did not state was going to be a cliffhanger. Granted it also didn't say was a standalone, which I prefer. That being said I did enjoy the storyline and the characters are very likeable. I will purchase next book to see how Brax and Maggie are (hopefully) brought together. )
