In a world where every soul is protected by a guardian angel, Athena Rae Walsh is cursed. From the moment she was born, no angel came to her side. Instead, she was bound to a demon-an enigmatic, infuriating creature of shadow and temptation. An outsider in a world of light, Athena has spent her life haunted by questions about her place and purpose, never realizing the ancient forces stirring just beneath the surface of her existence. Everything changes after her 21st birthday. Visions she can't explain. Forces she can't control. A spiritual war she never asked to join. As Athena is pulled into a realm where angels and demons wage an eternal battle, she learns a shocking truth: her soul is the key to an ancient prophecy, one that could tip the scales in favor of either side-or unite them at last. But prophecy is only the beginning. Two demons-one darkly magnetic, the other fiercely loyal-claim her heart in ways she never thought possible. Caught between forbidden love and her fragile humanity, Athena faces impossible choices. Does she fight for the angels, a future of light and order? Embrace the seductive power of the demons, where passion comes with a price? Or will she become the balance the world so desperately needs? With forces of heaven and hell closing in, the battle for Athena's soul reaches a breaking point. In a world of light and shadow, love and war, her destiny is anything but certain.
