Four immortal warriors. One human girl. A prophecy that will either unite Heaven and Hell... or destroy them both.

When Celine's moment of compassion triggers ancient symbols to burn into her palms, the worldwide blackout that follows isn't an accident—it's an awakening. Suddenly, the museum clerk who sends every spare dollar to her disabled father becomes the most hunted human on Earth.

Four immortal warriors felt her awaken across dimensions. Four bonds that will either claim her... or destroy them all.

Dominion: The ruthless angel commander whose military precision crumbles the moment he sees her. He failed to protect someone once before. He'd rather die than fail her.

Zorrander: The ancient demon lord who's waited millennia for this moment. He planned to guard her from a distance. Instead, he can't breathe when she's not near.

Gideon: The brutal half-angel who despises his human blood—until training her to survive means accepting the humanity he's spent lifetimes trying to kill.

Lynx: The predatory young demon who came to corrupt her soul. Now he'd slaughter armies to keep her safe, and he doesn't understand why.

Dragged to the gothic Nexus Academy, where angels and demons coexist in barely controlled hostility, Celine wants nothing more than to return to her quiet life. She never asked to be anyone's prophesied savior. But the bonds won't let her leave—and neither will her four guardians, who are bound by cosmic law to protect her whether she wants their protection or not.

The problem? Something older than Heaven and Hell is hunting her with ancient patience and unlimited power.

The First Shepherd has been dormant for millennia, waiting for the prophesied key to awaken. Now he's rising, and he'll burn down the entire world to reclaim what he believes belongs to him. Every human who falls to his stone armies, every soul he strips of free will—it's all to flush out one terrified girl who just wants to go home.

Some prophecies are written in starlight. Others are carved in blood and desperation.

A dark academy, why-choose paranormal romance where four dangerous immortals discover that protecting their human might be the most terrifying battle they've ever fought—and the only one that matters.
