Alexis's life is not pampering - a cramped cheap apartment, many low-paid jobs and the need to hide the power of her magic in San Francisco, which is ruled by the powerful and cruel demigod Valena. Kieran, the son of Valens, has power and wealth that mere mortals never dreamed of, but at the same time, he desperately misses his dead mother and secretly yearns to take revenge on his father for her death. Their chance meeting will change everyone's lives: Alexis will learn the true nature of his magic, and Kieran will receive an unexpected advantage in his secret struggle with his father. But... will they be able to cope with a sudden outbreak of desire and stay alive?
