From the New York Times-bestseller, a romantasy following a demon and human woman "made even richer by an intriguing . . . cast and efficient world-building" (Publishers Weekly). Some would kill to have Shadowdweller Trace's power. And when one of his enemies nearly succeeds, Trace is brought back from the brink of death by a woman whose mix of strength and innocence is as disturbing as her presence in his world. For Ashla Townsend is human. Trace knows a light-loving human could never survive the darkness of a Shadowdweller. Yet he is attracted to Ashla like no other, believing--against all odds--that she is his true mate. When Ashla finds herself in a New York City that is nearly unrecognizable in its eerie desolation, she leans into the mysterious stranger whose might is as devastating as it is alluring. Putting her trust in Trace, she is drawn deeply into a world she never knew existed. And though the powerful, passionate connection between them is too strong to deny, it will soon threaten everything Trace holds dear . . .
