Kalona lifts Nyx from the ground, his wings spread wide as he spins her through the air. "Trust me, Goddess. I would never let you fall," he promises, holding her tight. Born from Sun and Moon, two winged brothers serve the goddess Nyx. Golden Erebus brings her laughter and joy, dancing with humans on Earth. Dark Kalona offers strength and protection, igniting fire in her body during their nights together. But Kalona craves more than stolen moments. Doubt consumes him when they are apart. Each failure to satisfy her feeds his self-hatred. Jealousy toward Erebus poisons his heart. His obsessive love for Nyx drives him to seek power that will prove his worth and make her his alone forever. At the world's edges, ancient Darkness waits for an opening. It knows which heart will welcome its corruption. Kalona's desperate need to possess his goddess completely will give evil the doorway it seeks into their world.
