When a lonely librarian accidentally frees a centuries-old demon from his scholarly prison, their unprecedented bond will revolutionize the supernatural world forever.
Evelyn Chen thought the worst part of working the night shift at Blackwood University's library was the crushing boredom. She was wrong. The worst part was stumbling into the restricted collection's hidden chamber and accidentally performing a binding ritual that connects her soul to Malphas a devastatingly intelligent demon who's been guarding dangerous magical knowledge for three hundred years.
Now she's magically bonded to a creature of shadows and ancient wisdom who should terrify her, but whose protective instincts and scholarly passion make her heart race for all the right reasons. As Evelyn's newfound magical abilities attract dangerous attention from those who want to keep the supernatural world hidden, she must choose between the safe, ordinary life she's always known and a partnership that could bridge two worlds forever.
But some knowledge is worth fighting for...
When traditionalist forces emerge to destroy their unprecedented connection, Evelyn and Malphas must prove that cooperation can triumph over fear even when it means facing down supernatural councils, rogue Keepers, and centuries of mistrust. With the help of Evelyn's determined cousin Amy and allies from both worlds, they'll risk everything to protect not just their growing love, but the revolutionary alliance that could transform supernatural-human relations forever.
Perfect for fans of Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, and Kate Daniels series.
