Aleera is a girl who turns heads wherever she goes; smart, tough, sexy...and just a little bit dark. There's something about Aleera that frightens people: the deadly beauty is just one of the demons hiding in plain sight around us. Aleera's father was the worst mass-murderer her world ever knew, and there's no telling just how much of a mark he left, on the world and on his daughter. When a body turns up, horribly mutilated, Aleera realises that her bloodline has come back to haunt her, with long-standing secrets and lies that infect the very heart of the hidden world of demons and sorcery, and Aleera's perceptions of her past, her future and her very soul will change forever.
