Running from hell isnʼt easy. Especially when someoneʼs dragging you back down into it. Belligerent, brash and always in shades of black, Freya is hardly a lady. Hidden away by her father, sheʼs lived a normal life despite being born into the dark waters of New Yorkʼs underworld. Heʼs cold, cruel and calculating, with a proclivity for destruction.

When he passed, so did she-and the spell lived on, weaving itself into new lovers across the ages. Life after life, one could not exist without the other. Until the spell fell upon the wrong hands.
