Four years after the murder of his mother, Revel Harcourt, leader of a group of an ancient race of demon-hunting warriors, finds his friend impaled at a construction site, dead. The authorities say it was an accident, but with his history, he knows demons are involved and will hunt and annihilate those responsible. After a month of Amity Wellington’s ominous dreams haunting her sleep, they begin invading her waking life when she sees two demons slither up to her friends at school. As she seeks answers, she finds an unnerving truth about her dreams that may cost her her life. When Amity and Revel’s paths cross, their future tempts a perilous fate.

I heard her scream one night while she was sleeping. Heard but didn’t see. When I turned, there was nothing. No one. Only darkness. But I know what I heard.

The first book in a new series by Melanie Gabbard keeps you turning the page, waiting to see what is next.

One reader commented: I love the bursts of poetic narrative that jump out at you randomly, and you have to read the passage again simply because it's too beautiful to breeze over once and keep going. The characters are smart and witty, possessing strength and depth. It's hard to pick a favorite character because by the end of the book, you've grown fond of each for different reasons.
