A blood demon on the run and a widow haunted by the past.

Kry’n – As a rogue blood demon on the run for his life, Kry'n believes he's beyond redemption. He lurks in the shadows of her homeless shelter not just for easy prey but to be near her, his only salvation. In Jane's eyes, he finds hope for a better life.

Is saving his soul even possible?

Jane struggles every day to find value in her life. After she caused the fire that took the lives of her family, she’s unable to forgive herself. Despite her overwhelming guilt, she continues fighting a karma darker than her ability to stay optimistic.

Will she ever be able to forgive herself?

Kry'n is satisfied to watch as she dedicates her life to saving others. Seeing her kindness brings out the best in him as well, even leading him to protect the homeless he hides among. The delicate distance between them is destroyed when a killer comes after Jane. When it's her life on the line, only his true strength can save her. If they can survive, perhaps they can rediscover happiness together.

It’s time to fight destiny and grab a chance at love.
