I thought my newfound freedom would allow me to shake off the stink of New York City and start a new life somewhere else, a place where nobody knows me as Death Bringer or Britt the Bloody.

The only option is to take up arms alongside my vampire overlords and fight my way out. My instinct is to fight for myself—for survival—but at some point I realize I just might be fighting for a hell of a lot more.

Jaxson Rooks thought it was just going to be another quite night at home with the wife.

A rogue shadow was tearing the city apart. I was the only thing standing in its way. The streets were unraveling. Something was shredding through the city's defenses, and I was the last line before it reached everything else. The trail led somewhere I'd spent years avoiding. Back to the asylum. Back to the place I was born into darkness with no name and no past - and whatever had been waiting there for me ever since. My magic was fraying. My will was down to a thread. And the thing living inside me, the one I'd spent years refusing to name, was done waiting to escape.

The witches were weaving a deadly game. I was their next play. The city had gone mean. Hexes flying, bodies dropping, a coven moving through the shadows like they owned them - and I was the one sent in to unravel it. The deeper I dug, the more personal it became. The magic was clawing at scars I'd buried long ago. Someone knew exactly which ones to hit.
