Abner Ingleseid isn't an ordinary detective. He works solely for Hell, and being a previous resident himself, he knows the playing field pretty well. So when a group of ex-militia Demons are murdered, the race is on to find the killer before he summons an ancient, unearthly evil. But Ingleseid and his friends soon learn that the case is far more dangerous than they thought when its ties to an evil older than time itself is revealed. If Ingleseid wants to get out alive, he'll have to deal with demons, vampires, witches, fairies, zombies, the soldiers of Heaven and Hell, and even the king of the Underworld himself. Time is running out. If Ingleseid doesn't solve the case soon, he, his city, and everyone he cares about will pay the price. Cover by aishalam. Title by Everleigh_

Faeana Dagur inherits the Eye when her brother is slain in battle, and in her grief, she does what is forbidden: She sings death itself into the land. Trees die, grasses wither, the soldiers and their armored war cats are brought to their knees...and a monstrous black dragon that is on its way to kill her is broken from the sky. None of them even know that the enemy has stolen the creature and set its heart to killing. After a suspicious encounter from a messenger who brings a request that might lead to an ambush, Faeana is kidnapped by the murderous Marquis Morganthe. He claims he only wishes to negotiate a lasting peace between them, but he is troubled by something, and there is little trust to be found between them. He is wild in his display of emotion, and frightening, but his words ring of sincerity. After Marquis's proposal--which is so mad it might actually end the war between them for good--Faeana must make a choice. To reach a lasting peace, will she sacrifice the last remaining member of her family and condemn the only man she loves to a dreadful half-life? Or could she find it in herself to give up what she wants most in the world just to keep her remaining loved ones alive until the war claims the last of them? She has no idea Marquis owns the black dragon that mutilates her beloved, or that a coveted black dragon never travels alone. But, then again, Marquis is unaware of the power she has in her soul's song. She is the only one who might be able to tame the heart of the beast with the deadly storm of emotion that rages inside of her. She is, after all, the Heir of the Eye.
