Desperate to escape her father's protective cage, Zue Saeed craves adventure, passion, and a life of her own. As a member of Luxor's most prestigious Szendori family, she's meant to hunt mystical relics and battle demons, not sit chained to a desk. Then an undeniable attraction to a forbidden immortal protector sets her on a path to rebellion. Ash Adler—a disciplined Nephilim warrior—doesn’t break rules. Given his past, he knows exactly what happens when he does. But after one forbidden phone call with Zue sets him ablaze, he breaks, unknowingly taking her innocence and igniting a curse that sets the end of days in motion. As the gods unleash their wrath, Zue finds herself caged again, offered as a matrimonial prize to whichever divine warrior can claim her and break the curse. Now, to save Zue from a life as a monster, Ash must decide if entering the tournament and breaking more rules will doom Zue forever or finally set her free.
