Smart men never dabble with demons. I never claimed to be smart, but at least, I’m powerful enough to control them. When I bound Havoc to me nearly 300 years ago, I never realized how difficult he’d make my life, although “accidentally” lighting him on fire every now and then does bring a smile to my face.

It plays to the mind of the inner child of every adult who’s grappled with the un-realness of reality. Alice, a Croatian immigrant working in the food and beverage industry, just turned 26, discovered she’s pregnant, and is someone who fell down that rabbit hole of debt during the COVID-19 pandemic when bars and restaurants were forced to close for many months.

Alice is in over her head. She may be an inexperienced witch, but she's a trained Paladin who's called upon to help the secretive, and detached Alpha track down his missing pack mate. And it doesn’t take long for her to realise there’s far more at stake than a simple disappearance case. As disturbing clues surface, they point to something far more sinister. Reigniting nightmares that make her question her own, horrific past.

My father swore he'd never love again, but just as suddenly as Merelda arrived, she became the very center of his world . . . and just as quickly, I was all but forgotten. Still, I did not complain . . . if only for my father's sake. Not even when cruel words turned into even crueler punishments at my new step family's hands.

Then Johnny gives her a gift—a necklace strung with ruby-red beads.

Alexandria non sa se ce la farà ad arrivare viva al suo diciottesimo compleanno e al fatidico Risveglio. Il fanatico Ordine di Thanatos, a lungo dimenticato, la sta cercando per eliminarla, e se il Consiglio dovesse scoprire cosa è successo davvero durante l'attacco al Covenant dello stato di New York, la sua sorte sarebbe ugualmente segnata.
