The first time Elara raised a sparrow from the damp earth, her aunt called her a devil’s child; she had no idea how right she was.

MEET THE CHARACTERS

Lilith 'Lily' Morningstar

A 17-year-old girl with jet-black hair that falls in waves to her waist and eyes that shift from stormy gray to molten gold when her emotions flare. Slender yet strong, she moves with an unconscious grace that belies the bruises her aunt leaves on her pale skin—her kindness and shyness a stark contrast to the infernal power simmering within, allowing her to heal wounds or move objects with a thought, though she fears these gifts.

Asmodeus 'Ash' Morningstar

The Devil Prince, soon-to-be King of Hell, appearing in his late 20s with sharp, aristocratic features, crimson eyes that glow with ancient malice, and a tall, muscular build draped in tailored suits that smell of brimstone and expensive cologne. Charismatic and ruthless, he moves with predatory elegance, his callused hands bearing scars from celestial battles—a ruler torn between hellish duty and the haunting memory of a one-night stand that left a daughter he cannot find.

Evelyn 'Eve' Sterling

Lily's mother, a woman in her early 20s at her death, with soft blonde curls, gentle blue eyes, and a delicate build that hid a resilient spirit. She moved with a quiet, earnest grace, her paint-stained fingers from art classes telling of a creative soul—her life upended by a single night of reckless passion, leading to a pregnancy she embraced with fierce love before dying in childbirth, forever a mystery to her daughter.

Meredith Sterling

Evelyn's older sister and Lily's aunt, a woman in her mid-30s with harsh, angular features, mousy brown hair pulled tight, and a wiry build hardened by bitterness. She moves with sharp, resentful gestures, her eyes cold with jealousy over Evelyn's beauty and Lily's otherworldly allure—abusing her niece in a cramped apartment, her world smelling of cheap gin and regret.

Lucifer Morningstar

The Devil King, an ageless entity with a commanding presence, silver hair swept back, piercing black eyes, and a regal build cloaked in shadows. He moves with deliberate, terrifying authority, his voice like gravel and smoke, obsessed with expanding hell's dominion by ordering weekly kidnappings of humans—a father pushing Asmodeus toward a throne built on suffering.

Seraphina 'Sera' Vance

Evelyn's best friend, a woman in her early 20s with warm brown skin, curly hair tied in a messy bun, and a sturdy, comforting build. She moves with quick, nurturing energy, her hands often dusted with flour from her bakery, offering Evelyn refuge with a loyalty that lingers as a faint, sweet scent of cinnamon in Lily's fragmented memories.

Midnight Abduction

Rain lashes the grimy apartment window, distorting the streetlights below into hellish halos. Lily presses her palms against the cold glass, her breath fogging the pane as shadows detach from the alley across the street. Two hulking figures in tattered leather drag a struggling woman by her hair, her screams swallowed by the storm. 'No, please—' The woman's cry cuts off as a third guard clamps a hand over her mouth. Lily's eyes flash molten gold, her fingers curling into fists. The lamp on her nightstand rattles, then lifts an inch off the wood. 'Stop,' she whispers to herself, but the power thrums in her veins. Downstairs, Meredith slams a bottle on the table. 'Quit your staring, girl! It's just the weekly haul.'
