This will be my intro chapter eventually, but I'm making it easier on the ONC judges by putting it in the back instead of the front until the contest is over!

Nadia is a dreamer living in New York City, lost in her fantasy worlds and writing stories where good always triumphs over evil.  But when Azrael, one of Hell's most skilled demons walks into her life with the seemingly easy mission to tempt her, twist her, and ultimately tear her away from all she knows, reality starts to unravel in ways they never imagined.

This story is my entry in the 2025 Open Novella Contest!  Go to @OpenNovellaContest to choose a writing prompt and join this or the next one!  The prompt I chose: #2. To be in love with a demon was the last thing on your wishlist.
