Orenda was created by the God of Destruction to protect the people of the world from the shadow demons known as eyti that now plague it. For thousands of years she - alongside her brother - fulfilled this sacred duty with ease...until now. Never in her millennia did Orenda dream she would be blessed with a soulmate. She was even less prepared when her soulmate turned out to be none other than the creator of the very beings she was created to fight; the God of Malice, Azadou. Azadou is cold, uncaring and has a deep hatred of the Gods. Everyone keeps telling her to stay far away and reject him, but like the pull of two opposing magnets, these two cosmic beings can't resist the draw to each other. As Orenda puts her heart, soul and dignity on the line to win the heart of her destined half, a new and mysterious threat emerges... Something sinister is afoot and it has big plans for Orenda. Orenda will find herself in the most tempestuous fight of her life, with the stakes higher than anything she could have imagined. Will she come out victorious and achieve her happily ever after? Or find herself at the centre of a dark parable with no happy ending in sight? This is the 7th book in the God's Saga.

"Help me tighten this?" Her voice trembles as she turns her bare back to the doorway. Calloused fingers brush her spine – but it’s not her stepmother. It’s Asher Voss, SU’s star quarterback and her new stepbrother, smirking in the mirror， "Next time you mistake me for Mom..." His breath scorches her ear. "...I’ll leave a real mark." To survive the sweltering New York summer before college, Wendy Wu makes a deal with Asher: Act like strangers once school starts. He’ll remain the untouchable quarterback; she’ll be just another exchange student. No eye contact. No acknowledgement. Ever. But when her father’s long hauls and her stepmother’s busy schedule force Asher into babysitting duty, the lines blur: In the kitchen, he catches her weeping over a shelter documentary and lifts her against his sweat-drenched chest. Garage doors rattle open – his grip tightens: "Hold on. Unless you want them to see you like this." At a party, her friend spots a cherry hair tie on his wrist before he drags her into a dark hallway: "You didn’t want to see me?" His whiskey-laced kiss brands her lips. "Yet your eyes undressed me all night." In a restaurant, a rival girl glares through the window. He traps Wendy’s thigh under the table， "Call me ‘brother’ and I’ll save you."  Their secret collapses. Wendy ends it, and he freezes her out in public， "Do I know you?" Until a rain-lashed night when Ahser, drenched and desperate, pins her to the wall， "Don’t tell me you do not regret the breakup" His teeth find her collarbone. "I have to admit it-- I miss you." Can a love forged in stolen touches survive the spotlight? Or will their step-sibling bond shatter them both?

[Heyyy! Gadis kampung! Ini peringatan saya yang ke sekian! Kamu pake guna-guna apa, hah?! Cepetan hilangkan ilmu hitam yang kamu kirimkan pada Ashraf! Kamu tidak pantas menjadi menantu di keluarga Adireja!] Aku menghela napas panjang. Sehari setelah aku menerima lamaran Tuan Muda Ashraf, aku selalu mendapatkan terror dari nomor yang tidak dikenal. Pikiranku yang sedang kacau oleh hal itu, bertambah runyam oleh omelan yang keluar dari mulut cabenya Teh Selvi. “Kalau semua ayam yang kamu goreng gosong? Kamu pergi lagi ke pasar beli ayam lagi pake duit kamu sendiri, punya gak?” cibirnya. Dia tak pernah bosan menghinaku karena kastaku yang dianggapnya rendahan. Aku lupa ada sepasang netra yang menatapku sambil berlinang. “Ibu kenapa?” Aku menoleh ke arahnya setelah Teh Selvi berlalu. “Maafin Ibu sama ayah kamu, Ta! Kalau saja kami punya uang dan menyekolahkan kamu tinggi, mungkin kakak-kakak sepupumu tidak akan merendahkanmu seperti ini?” isaknya. Wa’ Imah hanya sesekali melirik kearahku dan Ibu. “Bu, sudahlah! Sinta tidak apa-apa! Tuhan tidak akan salah memilih orang yang akan Dia tinggikan, Allah tidak hanya melihat dari pendidikannya. Meskipun seluruh dunia merendahkan orang itu, jika Allah meninggikannya semua bisa apa? Ibu hanya perlu mendoakanku agar tetap menjadi orang yang penuh syukur dan berada di jalan-Nya. Ibu mau kan jika Allah memilihku dan meninggikan derajat kita suatu hari nanti?”
