(THE SERIES BELONGS TO PENELOPE DOUGLAS) 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝟏 To the new Horsemen and Cowgirls, Devil's Night is more than a tradition; it's in their blood. Under the cloak of darkness, they become echoes of their parents-driven by the same unquenchable thirst for danger, power, and control. The night is their playground, where rules are shattered, and the thrill of the forbidden pulses through their veins. Like their parents before them, they revel in the chaos, the secrecy, and the seductive pull of fear that only the darkness can provide. They are the heirs to a legacy of rebellion, a fire that can never be extinguished-born to rule the night and continue what their parents began. In their hands, Devil's Night is a ritual, a rite of passage where the past and present collide, leaving behind a trail of whispers, shadows, and the unmistakable scent of sin. *** 𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒆 𝑮𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒔𝒐𝒏, my Little Ballerina. She used to be mine, whether she knew it or not. That night-Devil's Night-changed everything for her. She looked at me with those terrified eyes, and yeah, maybe I broke something in her. But I never intended to fix it. I don't regret what happened. Why should I? She can try to run from it, from me, but we both know she'll never really escape. Not from what I did, and definitely not from who I am. She's still mine. Always was, always will be. *** 𝑴𝒂𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒊. He was the shadow I could never escape, no matter how far I ran. That night-Devil's Night-he shattered everything. What he did... I'll never forget. I see it every time I close my eyes. He's maddening, dangerous, and completely unapologetic. I wish I could hate him, but part of me is still caught in his web, trapped by the past we share. He never let me go. And maybe, deep down, I'm afraid he never will.

At age ten, Clarice Stuart is rescued from a potentially traumatizing experience by a mysterious stranger who seems to appear out of nowhere and then disappear just as suddenly. Fifteen years later, on a cold November night on an icy mountain highway as Clarice is on her way to her parents' home for the holidays, a black clad rider on a black motorcycle deliberately strands her on the highway. While Clarice waits for help to arrive, miles away her parents and brother are brutally murdered in their home. At the funeral, a man approaches her and offers his condolences, claiming to be a friend of her brother's. Clarice has a sense of recognition but can't place where she might know him from. As a precaution, three deputies are assigned to watch over Clarice until it can be determined whether or not her family was a target or simply victims of a random attack. Staying at her deceased brother's home, Clarice soon learns that even police protection can't save her from the evil that took her family. When her family's attacker appears and kills the three deputies who were meant to guard her, Clarice is certain she will die as violently as her parents and brother. But standing face to face with the killer, she is shocked to be staring into the face of her recently dead and buried brother. Before he can take her life as well, the black rider appears and saves her from the fate of her family. It is then that she realizes that the black rider is the man from the cemetery - and her guardian from the past. Suddenly she finds herself and her guardian in a deadly, terrifying game of cat and mouse with a killer who won't stay dead.
