Galilee Kincaid grows up among the Kincaid women in the Black South, surrounded by weeping willows and dark creeks near Salvation. She carries a hollow ache, knowing something sets her apart but never understanding what. When her wealthy friend Oriaku introduces her to Lucifer Helel, who works as head of security protecting an ancient artifact, Galilee recognizes immediately that he is not human. Their first touch ignites something powerful between them. Lucifer sees what Galilee cannot: she is Leviathan, a supernatural being whose very existence poses a threat. Levi, Lucifer's most trusted prince of Hell, wants Galilee eliminated before she brings destruction to those he protects. As battles rage unseen between Hell, Heaven, and earth, the attraction between Lucifer and Galilee threatens to destroy everything they know. The Kincaid family secrets collide with the princes of Hell, forcing even the most powerful beings to their knees. Galilee must choose whether to embrace her true nature and accept the dangerous consequences of her power.
