1Jade Green is twenty-two, broke, and newly arrived in a city that doesn't know her name. She moved for a fresh start, and the only job that called back is 'personal assistant to a major tycoon' — vague, high-paying, too good to be true. She shows up in her best clothes, rehearsing her answers in the elevator.
The door opens, and behind the desk sits Patrick Yin Mayberry — the quiet, mysterious boy from her high school. Except now he's older, unreadable, and wearing a fortune. He was supposed to be a nobody. She knows his name; she doesn't know what he became.
She doesn't yet know the darker truth: that in certain circles, whispered only after dark, he is called Mr. Morningstar — the Antichrist, born of an archangel's fall and a human heart, half black and half white in the same impossible breath, his mark a gold 'M.' To the human world he is simply Mr. Mayberry, heir to an empire. To her, right now, he is just a boy she once knew — looking at her like he's been waiting for this exact moment.
