Fire demiurge Lau had it made until the Mother Goddess banished him for his cruel treatment of humans. Now he's stuck in a mortal life, trying to cope without his powers--mainly by partying hard and seducing anything with a heartbeat. Then he meets Jesse Warner. College student Jesse is new to Montreal. Out from under his parents' thumbs for the first time, he can't wait to begin to discover who he really is. He has no idea what's really at stake when he falls in love with the former demiurge... until a powerful being with a grudge shows up, ready to destroy them both.
