Possessed by the demon Devina, Balthazar is once again on the hunt for the Book of Spells—and fighting an undeniable attraction to a woman. As a thief, he has stolen a lot of things...but he never thought his heart would be taken by another. Especially not a human.

When Devina's wish for true love is finally granted, Balthazar and Erika unwittingly become the gateway for the rebirth hunted by shadows and captivated by a mysterious man who is both a suspect and a savior of an old enemy of the Brothers. Will the very thing that brings them together lead to the ultimate destruction of the Brotherhood? Or will they have to lose everything in order to save the race's most sacred defenders?
