Van should have known better than to challenge the king of the crossroads.
The fight rips a hole in the veil, his healing magic fails, and he is left bleeding in a strange town in the human world.
He expects to die, until a beautiful angelic stranger comes to him.
That stranger is Gabe, a nephilim who has found acceptance only in Hex, Indiana, where he keeps his head down at the town’s one bar, stops stray feathers from reaching the wrong hands, and tends his plants while longing for someone to care for.
Crossroads demons are not supposed to get attached, yet Gabe’s gentle touch and sweet voice tempt Van to pause his bid to become their king.
