Love comes in many forms: family, friendship, romance.

But when those you love are considered forbidden, what do you do?

Samir Amin has dedicated his life in service to the Nergal, an ancient organization that monitors and polices the inter-dimensional beings on our world and the magic that summons them. The only dark mark on his career is his close friendship with Anela Masterson-a being that was long ago trapped in a human body and forced to live near powerless in our world.

When Anela introduces him to Keeler Lim, another being trapped like her, on the condition he keeps it a secret from the Nergal, he does so reluctantly. Things only become more complicated when Anela is kidnapped by a madman who wants to release her darkness on the world and, unwilling to be forced to stand on the sidelines, Samir asks Keeler to help him find and rescue her.

It is a decision that causes Samir to be faced with a choice between love and duty-and it could cost him his life.
