自從哥哥裘德咬傷葛蕾絲、消失無蹤後，她的人生再也不同了。她雖然擁有了此生的最愛：丹尼爾，但原本美滿的家庭卻變得支離破碎。某日，消失許久的裘德打電話給葛蕾絲，警告她：「不要相信他。妳以為他可以相信，但妳錯了！」的確，丹尼爾雖然在她身邊，但她不時感覺到他的心不在焉，像在隱瞞些什麼似的。但有什麼事情對最深愛的人說不出口？有什麼祕密不能對靈魂伴侶吐露？如果他不信任自己，那麼她當初為了救贖他的靈魂做出的犧牲，又算什麼？相愛的人之間不應該有謊言，謊言只會讓人越來越迷惘、最終走向毀滅……與其成為怪物而活著，不如以葛蕾絲．狄凡的身分死去……我跪在丹尼爾面前，鎖住我的鏈子已經拉到底；我想親手捧著他的臉，但是我搆不到，鎖住我的鏈子已經不能讓我再前進。我轉而凝視著他深邃的黑色眼眸，彷彿能夠一輩子沉浸其中。我們不可能逃出去，不管我們有多少信心，光憑我們兩個還是打不贏一堆魔鬼。但是，有一個方法可以不讓我內心的惡魔打敗我。我竭盡所能地朝他靠過去，丹尼爾也盡可能地靠近我；我和他的脣只剩毫米之遙，我使出全力拉扯鏈子，感覺自己的手臂就快脫臼，但我多前進了幾毫米，成功吻住丹尼爾的脣。我深深吻著丹尼爾，彷彿這是我和他之間的最後一個吻。然而，我很清楚，這是事實。明天早上，為了拯救我所愛的人，我將死去。The non-stop sequel to The Dark Divine delivers an even hotter romance and more thrilling action than Bree Despain's first novel.
