The Nephilim were on the earth in those days- and also afterward- when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were heroes of old, men of great renown.
Genesis 6: 4
And to this day, they remain: the Nephilim. Half human, half angel. They hide in the light, eternal, chaste, and beautiful. They protect the children of men from the Succubae, daughters of Lilith. Dangerous demonesses who prey on men leaving them worse than dead.
Until the day that one Nephil, Lucien, first encountered the Succubus Sarahi. That day a creature of darkness, sick of the shadows, dared lift her face towards heaven and discovered something she never dreamed she would find... love.
But their love is overshadowed as the long-foretold war between angels and demons threatens to break over the land. For prophecy states that from the mingling of these races will come a warrior who holds the key to victory... or utter destruction.

Sarahi has always been different from the other Succubi not wanting to take too much of her lovers and draining them and after an encounter in ancient Rome with the Naphil, Lucian, she is determined to be as good as she can be. There is something special about Lucian and over the centuries the two come close to becoming lovers, but never quite because of his celibacy vows. When there's one intense encounter too many he can no longer deny himself and their love creates something wars are started over. They are denied each other for years but once their secret is out can the good in the world prevail over evil?
Sarahi is a seductress with a conscience far more noble than that of her sisters, and because of it she is different. It is that difference that makes her special and that holds Lucian's heart captive. Lucian is strong willed but knows when something is worth fighting for. He may not always understand a problem but he listens to others that do. They bring out the best in each other and it made this story all the more interesting because of it.
The story has an interesting take on the supernatural and I enjoyed how the differences were portrayed. It was pretty well explained and very enjoyable all in one great package.
Great! Thank you.
