If This Oath Destroys Us, Then We Burn Together.

Inside House of Devils and Angels

There are love stories built on longing.

There are love stories built on destiny.

And then there are love stories built on survival.

House of Devils and Angels is not a romance about innocence.

It is about two creatures who know exactly what they are — and choose each other anyway.

Kit has spent decades trapped inside a house built on blood, secrets, and performance. She exists as spectacle. As commodity. As myth. Her soul was paid long ago, and the debt remains.

“There is no way out,” she says.
“There is only woodsmoke and pine and true blood. I can go nowhere with my soul paid to Alastor. Never forget that.”

She does not believe in rescue.

She believes in endurance.

Jet was sent to Hell as a weapon disguised as a guest. His mission was simple: find the Angel hidden inside the Black Mansion. Eliminate the threat or extract it.

Instead, he finds Kit.

And everything becomes complicated.

Because survival inside the Mansion requires one brutal truth:

“But if you’re going to survive this, if either of us are, then we must understand that we are liars and this is a house of Devils and Angels and we are both.”

This is not a story of purity.

It is a story of masks.

Of deception.

Of knowing that the only way to survive a corrupt system is to learn how to move inside it without being devoured.

Jet lies to Heaven.
Kit lies to Hell.
And somewhere between blood and betrayal, they form an oath.

“If this oath destroys us, then we burn together.”

That is the promise.

Not safety.

Not salvation.

Not even freedom.

Just together.


House of Devils and Angels explores:

• morally gray devotion
• blood-bound survival
• secret identity and dangerous allegiance
• the cost of loyalty in a corrupt system
• love forged under pressure, not fantasy

It asks a difficult question:

If you are already stained…
If you have already lied…
If your soul is already collateral…

Can you still choose love?

Or is love simply another beautiful deception?

This novel takes place prior to Veil of Shadows: First Generation, revealing the hidden history of the Black Mansion and the choices that reshaped Hell long before the Veil began to tear.

But at its core, this is a story about two people who know they are broken — and decide to stand together anyway.

Even if the house collapses.

Even if Heaven watches.

Even if it costs them everything.


Because sometimes survival is not about escaping the fire.

Sometimes it is about deciding who you burn beside.
