My magic can kill. Now, it might be the reason I die.
For years, I thought I was Raven Cursed-only to discover I'm something much worse. But nothing about my life is as shocking as what I discover about Mephisto, the mysterious and alluring client who's always had a special interest in me. Now I know why.
My curse and Mephisto's secrets have to take a back seat when the most powerful vampire in the city hires me for a job. It seems simple enough: negotiate the acquisition of a weapon that can kill his kind faster than a stake to the heart.
In my line of business, there are rules that you never break-or if you do, you make damn sure no one finds out. First, never betray a client. Second, never piss off a vampire, especially the Master of the City.
Somehow, I managed to do both.
Now I have a mere seventy-two hours to fix my mistakes, or the Master will claim my life as payment for my failure-and he's made it clear there won't be any renegotiations.
