Monsters meant nothing to Angela Duboise until one trapped her in a dark alley and someone far more dangerous than the attacker saved her.
Captain Zarek, the warrior behind that rescue, told her she would forget, yet the night returns in dreams of restless shadows and of him.
His power, perfected over centuries and deadly to everyone else, fails for the first time to wipe the memory away.
The creature that cornered her was not hunting alone, and although touching her is lethal and loving her is illegal, Zarek will tear her from the only world she has known in order to protect her.
In the hidden realm of Paradox, law and politics collide with ancient magic that feeds a forbidden love powerful enough to ruin everything that realm hides, while the promise of fated mates becomes the threat rather than the refuge.
