Bullied for the birthmark on her face, Celyn is pushed into the forbidden Dark Realm—only to be rescued by Kaelan, a mysterious half-wolf, half-demon gatekeeper.
Under his guidance, Celyn awakens the bloodline of an Abyss Guardian, gaining breathtaking beauty and deadly shadow powers. With a new identity, she returns to the human world, ready to make everyone who hurt her pay.
But there’s a terrifying secret: her power is tied to Kaelan’s life. The stronger she becomes, the weaker he gets.
As the ruthless Valeria family poisons the land, mercenaries hunt her down, and an ancient Thorn Dragon unleashes its fury, Celyn faces an impossible choice—revenge or the man who saved her.
Can she end a thousand years of hatred without becoming a monster herself?
And when Kaelan finally breaks his curse, the two must unite to bridge the human world and the Abyss.
