The air in the Abyss's deepest pit hung thick with the stench of brimstone and forgotten hope. Kael, the most dreaded shadow-beast, sagged in the grip of massive iron chains, his steel-grey eyes glazed with exhaustion. His sentence for loving a mortal witch.

The light around her guttered and dimmed as she sank deeper into the toxic dark. Kael’s head jerked up, his gaze sharpening. The very shadows that had dragged him here seemed to flinch. He heaved against his restraints, metal groaning in protest, watching the mortal who had seen *him*—not the monster—walk willingly toward her doom.
