Not their father. Something older. Ozias Dravenkov. The first demon. And he's been waiting centuries for her. As the barrier between the living and the dead begins to crack, Morgan is pulled into a war over who controls souls, power, and the fate of the afterlife itself. While some fight to preserve the existing order, Ozias seeks to tear it down, no matter how many lives it costs. Caught between two lovers, two truths, and two futures, Morgan must decide who she trusts and what she is willing to sacrifice to keep the ones she loves safe.
