Ice cream and a movie are timeless remedies for a break up- using an ancient relic to summon a man of lore, not so much. But unknown to her, that's exactly what Anais did. Being a New Orleans native, Anaïs is no stranger to superstition and myth, but she's never taken it seriously-until one day she notices a peculiar raven outside her window, watching her with intelligent eyes. Then, as she walks her university campus, she's stalked by a flock of black birds. Surely an ominous sign. Or, is it?The mysterious, handsome, dark-haired Rovidious steps into her life, bringing with him a newfound passion that Anaïs had only dreamed of. But with her new relationship comes new challenges, and even danger.Rovidious knows summoning him should have been impossible. He had fulfilled his debt to the human race, but now after centuries of isolation the raven was called. Mankind is unruly and fickle, their hearts impenetrable-yet when he's with Anaïs, he is in paradise, moved by a desire that will either prove to be his salvation or damnation. However, his dark past taunts him, and the truth may send Anaïs running in the opposite direction. She must decide if their relationship will stand the test: against her family's disapproval, her former crush, and even darker forces on the horizon.
