Prometheus' Orb (Legends of the Dark Creatures Book 1)

She's an anomaly. He's a vengeful demon. Both, haunted by what they are. Together, they must race against time to protect the realms. Desperate to escape her past, seventeen-year-old Ashley Morgan has been denying a part of herself. She lives a normal life in Ravenhill yet deep down she's always felt like she doesn't belong. Her life is forever changed when she meets Richard Thane. Ashley is naturally drawn to the air of mystery that surrounds the new boy in town. But as she gets closer to uncovering the truth about him, the life she once swore to leave behind begins to catch up to her. After fifty thousand years, Richard has finally rid the realms of a terrifying and powerful evil. Cursed to never return to his real home, Richard Thane-- an immortal Fire-Demon-- decides to live among the humans of Ravenhill. In an attempt to start a new life, he encounters the ever-cheerful Ashley Morgan. From the moment they meet, Richard knows Ashley is unique. He soon begins to wish he was wrong. The balance of the realms has been threatened. Someone is trying to awaken the evil Richard once vanquished. Ashley is the key to their plan. Between a prophecy, a magical Orb, and a servant who will stop at nothing to awaken his fallen master, Ashley has to embrace what she truly is. But her strange power compels Richard to question if she could be his greatest ally... or his worst enemy.
