Description

A skilled killer feared among magicians accepts a job targeting a woman whose fascination with the supernatural has already led her to summon a demon by mistake. Instead of completing the assignment, he becomes entangled with her—and with the ritualistic monster cult that once controlled him. As the cult closes in, he must protect the person he was meant to kill while she decides whether her dangerous new guardian can be trusted. Monsters stalk the woods, an ancient evil begins to stir, and the demon pursuing her becomes inseparable from the question of her survival and soul. The novel blends explicit dark romance with occult horror, violent danger, and sexual tension between potential enemies.
