The Scar That Saved Her

Celyn is mocked and bullied for the birthmark on her face until she is pushed into the forbidden Dark Realm, where the half-wolf, half-demon gatekeeper Kaelan rescues her. Under his guidance she awakens the bloodline of an Abyss Guardian, gaining striking beauty and dangerous shadow powers. Returning to the human world under a new identity, she plans to make those who wronged her pay, but a hidden cost binds her power to Kaelan's life, so every gain she makes weakens him. Her thirst for revenge now pulls against her loyalty to the man who saved her.
