TROPES:
Morally Gray, Outsider Hero ☠️ He’s tall, dark, and broody with a voice like molasses at midnight. He’s also damned, dangerous, and barely holding on.
Sunshine/Innocent Girl 🩷She’s sweet, stubborn, and determined to save him. Whether he wants to be or not.
Grump x Sunshine 😡🌞 He's hell-bound. She's heaven-sent. And fate has a twisted sense of humor.
First Love ❤️🔥 Two opposite souls. One chance to feel whole.
Good vs. Evil The Divine wages war against the Diabolical—and they’re caught in the middle.
Save Me 🔥 He became the monster to survive. Now he has something to lose.

He became the monster to survive.
Now he has something to lose.
Kerry
When I was nine years old, I made the wrong decision for the right reasons. Ten years later, I’m still paying for it. The demon inside me is winning. My strength is gone. My control is slipping.
I’m done.
Then she finds me. All fire hair and sunshine smiles and blind, stubborn hope. She looks at me like I’m not the monster I know I am.
I should have scared her off. I should have let her walk away.
I didn’t.
I let her get close. Let her see too much. Let her become the one thing I can’t lose.
And then she’s gone.
Taken.
Bad move.
Because she’s not just the girl who tried to save me. She’s my last shred of humanity. My salvation. My heart. My angel.
So they can run. They can hide. They can crawl into the darkest corners of Hell.
It won’t matter.
I’ll find them.
Because I’m coming for her.
And I’m not bringing mercy with me.
The world fears the monster in him.
She’s the only thing he won’t destroy.
Gemma
It was supposed to be a normal night. Just humming to myself as I walked home, thinking about the secret I’ve spent my whole life hiding. Then I saw a pile of rags on the sidewalk. Except it wasn’t rags. It was a boy. Broken. Bleeding. Barely alive.
He told me to run. I didn’t listen. I tried to heal him. And that’s when everything went wrong. I woke something dark. Something hungry. I should have died that night. The world thinks I did.
Now I’m trapped in a world I never knew existed—a hidden sanctuary for nephilim like us—forced to leave behind the only family I have, the life I was building, and the future I worked so hard for.
All because I tried to save a boy who doesn’t want saving.
He’s dangerous. Broken. Angry. And he hates that I see something more in him. But I do. I see the boy fighting to hold on. The one no one else believes is still there. So I stay. I fight for him, even when he pushes me away. Because somehow, he feels like home.
But something is coming.
Something bigger than either of us.
And when it finally catches up to us?
Saving him might be the thing that destroys us both.
"No matter how much I wanna burn the world down, I know it won't help, so I keep everything locked down tight. At least for now. Fair warning, though: When I eventually lose it, stay far away from me. I will pay them back a hundredfold for taking what's mine, and I won't be careful doing it."
Kerry Harker and Gemma Shepherd have their hands full figuring out their relationship and navigating the treacherous waters of high school. After an incident with the First Firsters, they decide to make themselves scarce for awhile and accept a mission outside the safe borders of the Sanctuary. When things go horribly awry, Kerry has to decide if it's game on or game over in his quest for redemption.
Still smoldering and half-conscious after destroying nearly forty djinn, Kerry Harker is heading home to the Big Apple in search of any and every clue he can beg, borrow, or steal as to the whereabouts of his girl, Gemma Shepherd.
As he grows increasingly unstable without her, Rome and Mira are left to coordinate with the rest of the team at the Sanctuary, organize a safe house, and send Spin and Chance off on individual assignments with Monkey and Chessie. When the trip to New York City gets off to a less than auspicious start, Kerry is forced to find allies in unexpected places, but he’ll do whatever it takes to save his girl.
The tiger is loose, and he'll fight forever to recover what's his.
Becoming increasingly unstable without her, Kerry Harker will do whatever it takes to get his girl back - even if it means playing nicely with a pack of werewolves, killing the dark witch who saved his life, and depending on the one man he hates above all others.
Gemma Shepherd knows time is running out. The second that Darius’ master realizes a miracle worker is within his grasp, it’s game over. She needs a plan, and she needs one fast. Fortunately, her djinni jailer is willing to work with her - for a price. When Samuel Castle betrays them both, their temporary alliance becomes their last, best hope of cheating the clock. Too bad it may already be too late...
Kerry Harker and Gemma Shepherd have no choice but to do the unthinkable. Taking on a prince of hell may seem like a losing proposition, but it’s the only way to expose the Council’s traitor, bring an end to the Alchemists’ Great Experiment, and banish the shadow that stalks them. Gemma might not realize it yet, but Kerry’s known all along that their success will demand a sacrifice. It’s one he’s more than willing to make if it means keeping her safe, but he doesn’t plan on going to Hell alone...
The Tainted saga concludes with a breathtaking clash of destiny and betrayal, where every secret comes to light in an explosive finale.
