"Sometimes you can look at someone and feel like you're about to jump off a cliff." In a world where love is considered a disease, Éponine can't wait to be cured. However, just three months before her scheduled procedure, she meets a boy named Enjolras, whose dangerous ideas make her question the quiet society that she lives in, and whose burning touch makes her question herself.

Four years after the Great Schism, the demon Enjolras and his allies claw their way back to the surface world, seeking to overthrow Lucifer with the help of the Knights Templar, a shadowy organization of exorcists. But Enjolras' ex is a Templar now and she's still mad at him, so... oops. Everyone's in for the fight of their lives. Angel, human, or demon, they are all damned.

"In the glow of the fires, her unkempt hair was a halo, her eyes were Baltic amber, and he was panicking." Born and raised in France, Draco Malfoy attends Beauxbatons and leads a privileged, well-ordered existence. He meets Hermione Granger for the first time at the Triwizard Tournament, and that's when things get... strange. But kind of wonderful, too.

"They were a strange couple, the boy and girl who moved in next door." Enjolras and Éponine make it through the revolution, and now they have to live with the consequences and each other. She wonders how he survived the war, while he wonders how to survive her cooking. He's angry because his destiny's been changed, and she's angry because he doesn't know how to be anymore.

"'We shall hold fast for as long as there is breath. We shall endure for as long as there is hope,' he promises in a voice fairer than gold and brighter than glory. 'Damn,' she sighs, 'there goes my weekend.'" The revolution lasts longer than expected, and Enjolras and Éponine go a little stir-crazy at the barricade.

"He lets her go and she scurries away, and in his mind Grantaire's sneering because of course Enjolras wouldn't know how to hold on to a woman, even the slips and tatters of one." Enjolras and Éponine find each other in little cracks of time before the revolution, and then once more at the barricade.
