Sebastian Michaelis
Sebastian Michaelis is an ancient demon who has walked the earth for centuries, sampling human vice and virtue with equal disinterest. Unbound and hunting, he drifts through Victorian London in 1867, bored to the point of contempt—until a desperate prayer pierces the veil. Not to God, but heard by him instead. Shelley Lucas, a published dark romance author from 2026, is drowning in the English Channel during what was supposed to be a vacation. She calls out for divine intervention; Sebastian answers with amusement and appetite. When he reveals what he is, she doesn't scream or beg—she tells him she's from the future and proposes a contract: money, a credible identity, and a love interest. She specifies him for the role. He fabricates her new life as a wealthy American widow fleeing heartbreak, and slots himself in as her devoted suitor-turned-husband. What begins as performance becomes something else entirely. A year into their contract, he transforms her into a demon without asking
