A human knight raised to destroy demons must make an impossible choice when the people she loves begin becoming the very creatures she has sworn to kill. To save them, Aurelie Chantelune forms a dangerous bond with a demon who claims he can help end the ancient war between angels and demons.

The Vibe

Aurelie has spent her life training as a knight in a kingdom devastated by demons. Her destiny is tied to the Chantelune bloodline and an angel named Yuriel, whose power is essential to her kingdom's survival. But when her understanding of the war begins to fracture, Aurelie is forced to consider an alliance she never imagined possible.

Severin, a demon with his own agenda, offers Aurelie a dangerous alternative. Bound to both an angel and a demon, she finds herself caught between opposing sides of an ancient conflict, while the three of them must work together to search for a cure that could turn demons back into humans.

Richly imagined and fiercely romantic, The Wretched Divine combines epic fantasy adventure with magical bonds, complex loyalties, and simmering romantic tension. The world is filled with angels, demons, knights, ancient magic, and a war where the line between monster and human is increasingly difficult to see.
