Summary:
At fifteen, Magnus is cursed. Or maybe, since he’s the son of a god, his life had been cursed from the day he was born.
Asmodeus covets him, wants Magnus to follow him, to pray to him for aid… expects Magnus to love him. But Magnus sees the magic in his father’s eyes for what it is, destruction and fear and pain, and so, Magnus refuses. In a fit of rage, furious that a son of his would choose humanity over him, Asmodeus curses Magnus.
Undaunted, Magnus decides he’ll make his own future, that his choices shall remain his. He lives his life in peace, not letting his visions of a burning city scare him or decide his path. Until… one morning, he sees Alexander’s face and knows that his fate is determined.
Magnus will never let him go.
