In a world where demons infiltrate society by mimicking humans, Kayla Sylver is the Order’s most efficient weapon. Her blood grants her unnatural strength, reflexes, and insight into demonic auras—but also isolates her. The more she uses her gifts, the closer she feels to becoming what she hunts. While tracking a string of disappearances in a quiet coastal city, Kayla encounters a man who seems too gentle for this bleak world—but something about him feels familiar to Kayla’s darker instincts. When a demon attack exposes Kayla’s markings in front of the man, she flees—only for him to reveal that he, too, is not what he seems. He’s a demon—one who fled the underworld centuries ago to live a quiet, human life. Yet unlike the others, he shows no hunger for power or blood. Torn between duty and instinct, Kayla must decide if what she’s been taught all her life is truth—or just fear dressed as righteousness. As she begins to question the Order’s motives and the rigid definitions of good and evil, Kayla finds herself falling for the very being she’s supposed to destroy. But love comes at a cost. And when the Order discovers his identity, Kayla is forced to choose: Will she become the weapon they forged her to be? Or will she become something new—something forged from both bloodlines?

The idea of traveling the world always thrilled Kaela; her job allowed her to perform in a wide range of venues for celebrities and artists. Not this time around, no dancing on the horizon, but instead a mission from her mentor to check out the unknown disappearances in a coastal town. She arrived early in the morning, the sun was rising for the day, offering the beautiful opportunity to see the shimmering sea greet the sun. On the third level of the airport, Kaela gave herself a few moments to enjoy the view before heading downstairs to grab a cab.
"Over here!" Calling out as a white and green cab drove up to the curb, "Oh, thank you!" putting her bags into the trunk. Sliding into the backseat, she hands over a piece of paper with the Airbnb that the Order set her up in.
"Business or pleasure?" The driver questions as they pull out onto the road after putting the address in the GPS. "Business," Kaela answered, looking out the window with a smile. This place was beautiful. It didn't take Kaela long to notice the driver glaring at her through the rearview mirrors. She raised a brow, glancing over the drivers' arms and legs from where she could see from her position. A subtle flash of patterns coursed up the driver's neck, revealing she was a demon. Kaela waited until they came to a stop sign to swing out her sword, which only came about when Kaela felt threatened.
"Be gone, demon!" She shouts, missing the demon's neck by a hair as they dashed out of the car. Kaela leaps out the window, landing on top of the car before launching after the demon. "You must be the reason people are disappearing!" Kaela yells as she follows the demon through the town until cornering them in an alley. "Got ya!" rushing forward to pin the demon against the walls. "Tell me, are there more of you hiding around her?" she questions. The demon refused, even thrusting itself into Kaela's sword to return to the demon realm.
"Dammit!" anger filling her chest, her patterns scattering along her arms for a moment, a blip of time as she settled herself back. Her sword disappears as she leans against the walls guessing that there were more since the demon did not wish to talk
