Prologue

Sianna Byrne likes her life for most part, although she's going through a bit of a rough patch. 31 and a museum coordinator in Chicago, she's been struggling with longtime boyfriend James and has been feeling like something was missing for a while now, whether it be with her or with him, she's not sure. Sianna has felt different all her life and has a hard time connecting, her inner turmoil reaching a boiling point one night as she finds herself having a drink at a local bar. Hoping to numb some of those dreary thoughts and come up with a solution to her unhappiness, she expects a boring but peaceful evening. That is, however, until a strange and powerful man hypnotizes her without consent, taking her to another world much darker than anything Sianna has ever known. She is forced to face her new reality head on when she encounters Abyssin, a deadly creature of both man and monster that breaks all bounds of magic...and may be the only key to saving Sianna's soul.
