As the power struggle between those with magic intensifies, an unsettling vision is uncovered by three young friends – good can never win, as it must become evil to do so. ~*~ With Demons growing stronger, Feya and Kelsey train to harness their magic alongside their powerless friend Tristan, knowing that the war will either kill them or turn them evil. Options are scarce until an exiled rogue, remembered for her inexplicable attack on Tristan, returns with a risky proposition: to become allies with a Demon, abandon their friends, and rip magic from the world. 

Killing: an act of love so sweet your body falls victim to such an ecstasy the staccato of the heart bursts your very soul and you perish into the stars above like so many unfortunates who have met the one called demon. Beau, Violette, Diana, Josephine, and Saya are demons who snatch the lives of the living to live themselves. Killing, loving. But what is to kill as is to love? What is a human, what is a demon, what is an angel, or even to live? A journey through human history from Ancient Asia to the Roman Empire to Victorian England to Bohemian Paris to modern Japan and much more, the demons tell their stories as like to a lover's ear. {I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just trying to write something beautiful. This is not horror, really. I don't know how to describe it.} Note: The stories can be read separately or together. Many of them are one-shots, or constructed to be stand-alone even if they are connected to the overall plot. So you really can choose whichever one sounds most intriguing to you, whether by character or time period or country, or whatever you want really. Can't get enough?
