Kassidy Coursey has lived with fantastical stories in her imagination for as long as she can remember. Her dark fantasy books speak to her greatest loves: redeemable anti-heroes, sweeping character arcs, and unbridled love that crushes souls (but deliciously). She otherwise thrives on terrible jokes, harmless pranks, caramel macchiatos, and being right.

Fallen’s First

“I was created by him, but I was made for you.”

Saer—the first demon and Pride himself—exists for a single-minded purpose: harvest souls to feed the ailing Devil who made him. The same Devil to whom he has sworn a vow of absolute loyalty.

Until the demoness Neyu, incarnation of Lust, makes Saer question what he understands his existence to mean. Every touch or glance from Neyu burns through Saer—the irresistible pull between them at blatant odds with his purpose…and his vow.

One does not love another above the Devil without consequence, so when Saer surrenders to his feelings for Neyu, the Hells shriek—and he’s woefully unprepared to endure the punishment for his sins.

Oath Breaker

Sever the tie. Snap the leash. Break the chain.

After cleaving one of two supernatural oaths to the Devil who made him, Saer has run into countless dead ends hunting for a way to sunder the other. Disillusioned, he sinks into humanity’s hollow pleasures but at the cost of his fiery strength, vigilance…and freedom. Saer finds himself captured, forced into the very situation he’s fought to escape—bound in servitude to another. While one side of Saer shrieks for him to run, another soft, inner voice begs him to wait.

With teeth like razors and a cunning wit, Lady Eyes of the Cat aims to establish a territory with radical ideals, and so acquires—and needs—Saer to deter would-be assassins during her unwaking hours. What she doesn’t need is the distraction of his damnable smile.

Unbeknownst to Cat, the hold on her territory threatens to fracture as long as Saer’s final bond to his maker persists. Apart, they’ll never overcome the horrors of the Devil pulling all the strings. Together, they’ll grapple with painful yearning that could only lead to traumatic heartbreak. One thing is clear—they cannot have, nor bear, it all.
