They are beings with no flaws, divine creatures with power sparking at their fingertips. A race so exceptional that it feels almost forbidden to think about them, especially for someone like me.

She was the angel who guided me to salvation, lighting up all the places inside me that had been dark for most of my life. There was no denying the connection we shared. But now, she was the one who had fallen into darkness. I could control a great many things, but I couldn’t free her from the black abyss. As hard as I tried, I had no way to save her—especially after she changed all the rules.
