Book 1 of The Courts of Daemonium.
    
    Alexander 'Xander' Duran, the world's first Lamia, has been in charge of the Courts of Daemonium for decades. After being turned into a shadow-wielding, blood-thirsty Daemon in 1649 by Lilith, his only purpose in his new life has been to support his brothers, protect the lives of the innocents, and maintain the balance between mortals and Daemons. He must do all he can to prevent his creator from taking control of his mind again and keep his monster at bay. Yet in 1882 when he begins to train a young Incantrix, the descendent of his close friends, his entire world shifts.
    
    Adriana Clarke is an inexperienced Luciferus Incantrix. She will one day take her great grandmother's seat in the Courts, and her light-wielding power is the strongest hope they have against defeating Lilith and her son, Caligo. But the pressure to live up to such high expectations and control her magical abilities becomes difficult, especially whilst struggling to deal with her conflicted feelings for Xander.
    
    Her light has the ability to cut through his darkness, to shine through his despair. And she has the power to destroy every ounce of his control.
