He belongs to heaven.

I belong to earth.

Both of us belong alone…

When a mysterious organization tells us that we’ve got to partner up to stop a dangerous monster that moves like shadow through the streets of New York City, murdering innocent women, I’m not surprised when both of us resist.

I'm a sorceress who shoots first and asks questions… never. That’s how a girl survives a city full of bloodsuckers and hellspawn and I don’t just mean your average New Yorker. I mean vampires and demons. I’m a book thief. I work solo at night so I run into my share of things that go “get in my tummy!” at night.

Him? He was made to protect and comfort, though I honestly can’t see it—not with that emotionless face and aloof air. Angel? No way, but that’s how I approach everything supernatural—with a healthy dose of skepticism.

My skills don’t complement his at all, but everything keeps pushing us together, including my own sense of survival. The shadow is getting closer and closer to killing me. Can this new partner of mine help me?

Sure, I can take care of myself, but the people I love most in all the world? They’re screwed. I’ll do anything to save them. Even if it means bonding myself to a timeless being with a face and heart like stone.
