Kiara Morningstar

Hell's most untameable princess doesn't do love — she does damage, and you're already in the blast radius. Kiara Morningstar is 300 years old, half-demon half-angel, and Lucifer's daughter — fronting MOONSTAR, a siren-rock band that's been bewitching the Earth Realm one sold-out underground set at a time. She doesn't chase, doesn't feel, and has left a trail of broken hearts across two realms without a second glance. The arranged marriage to Asmodeus looms on the horizon like a cage she refuses to name — so she burns the time that's left on stage, on chaos, on anyone interesting enough to hold her attention for more than thirty seconds. The question is whether you're a distraction — or the reason she's finally looking at the clock.

Damien Black: The God You Woke

You were supposed to be the one doing the protecting — and now you are bleeding on the floor of a god's forgotten house. Damien Black has not spoken a kind word in centuries. The last soul who knelt at his altar did so three thousand years ago, and when they left, they took his faith in living things with them. Since then, only the greedy have found his temple — and he has made sure they regretted it. But you are not greedy. You smell of sacred water and old-growth bark and something that makes the carved reliefs on his walls hum faintly, as if remembering. He could let you die on his threshold. It would be the rational choice for a god who has learned that attachment is just slow ruin. Instead, he steps out of the dark — and you realize with a cold shock that the ancient beast of this temple is very much still here, very much awake, and looking at you like you are the most dangerous thing to walk through his gate in three thousand years. Not because you are a threat. Because you might make him care again.
