Emily VonPeer hopes that she
never meets the man of her dreams. For years, she's been haunted by visions of
an unknown lover destined to die in her arms. When her aunt's death brings her
home to her family's estate in Upstate New York, she meets Nicholas Flynn, an
agent of Paladin, an enterprise dedicated to the study and eradication of
demons, and the hero of her nighttime fantasies. He arrives on her doorstep
seeking answers for a slew of magically-related murders tied to the VonPeer
family.
Although his intentions are
suspect, Emily follows Nicholas into the investigation, hoping to spare him the
fate promised by her premonitions - at least, that's what she tells herself.
When their exchange with a demon goes awry, Emily sustains an injury that
threatens to turn her into a monster. Her transformation places her in the
crosshairs of sorcerers, senators, and a seductive stranger who promises eternity.
Short Excerpt:
Emily watched from
the kitchen window as the lights from the far shore played on the waves of the
river. She heard the ghost of a voice whisper to her, but she ignored it. The
voice would wait until morning. Maybe the sunlight would settle her, stop the
spinning in her soul from the flight, the funeral, and the horrible ache that
came from the realization that for the first time in her life, she was truly
alone. Even the moon had abandoned her, its thin light concealed by the clouds
overhead. She rubbed the bridge of her nose, willing the loop of events to stop
flashing through her mind, yet the pictures remained sharp as blades, begging
her to remember, to fight, to avenge. But she didn’t know how or where to
start. She only knew why. A single word popped into her mind.
Even now, the idea pulsed like blood in
her head, but there was nothing that she could do. Someone had stolen the only
thing that mattered from her, and at twenty-six years old she was, once again,
an orphan.
It’ll be better in the morning, she
thought.
She pulled the
edges of Aunt Maeve’s bathrobe closer; it was a shade too tight across the
shoulders. She went to bed searching her mind for a shred of meaning or a
moment of significance to light her path. All she found was a memory.
