The past has waited centuries for this moment.
The evil Burton exposed now wants what it was promised.
And it is done waiting.
Detective Mark Burton has faced killers, conspiracies, and truths older than his city. But nothing has prepared him for what comes next.
When a series of crimes tied to black-market adoptions and stolen identities resurfaces, Burton recognizes the pattern immediately - not in evidence, but in consequence. The evil he thought contained has returned with purpose.
This time, it does not seek anonymity.
It seeks continuation.
Sarah Burton's dreams begin to reveal fragments of a future that should not exist - children claimed by a bargain made long before any of them were born. As past and present collide, Burton is forced to confront the final truth: stopping the evil may mean destroying everything it has touched - including those he loves most.
The investigation becomes a race not just against a killer, but against history itself - and the terrible realization that some debts are inherited.
In the Dreams of Angels is the final book of the Angels Trilogy.
The bargain is revealed.
The cost is paid.
A haunting conclusion to a trilogy where evil adapts, survives, and remembers - long after justice believes it has won.
