“You are. But you can’t hold the world on your shoulders forever.”
Nathan Accardi fears the Paladin Guild has lost its way. Once fearsome demon hunters, these days they spend all their energy hating a handful of people who left the guild to be with demons. In an attempt to be the voice of reason, he asks Commander Sloan to let him approach the defectors with a truce. He doesn’t expect them to make a halfling demon his point of contact, but he can’t blame them for being wary of him.

Nathan Accardi fears the Paladin Guild has lost its way. Once fearsome demon hunters, these days they spend all their energy hating a handful of people who left the guild to be with demons. In an attempt to be the voice of reason, he asks Commander Sloan to let him approach the defectors with a truce. He doesn’t expect them to make a halfling demon his point of contact, but he can’t blame them for being wary of him.
He feels an instant attraction to Storm. Fighting it is impossible, and against his better judgment, a night of passion turns his world on its head.
Storm has watched other demons fall for their humans, but it was never supposed to happen to him. When Nathan pulls away after their first incredible night together, Storm swears he’ll do whatever it takes to make him see that they belong together.
But there are more than bloodthirsty paladins closing in. Strange deaths in the city are just the beginning. Something’s coming, and if Nathan isn’t careful, he’ll be caught in the crossfire. Is a truce between the paladins and the rebels worth his life? Will Storm be able to save him from becoming a martyr for a truce no one else believes in?
