Klappentext

Loren and Darien are forced to keep secrets that threaten to tear them apart in the second book in the gripping urban romantasy House of Devils series, perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Sarah J. Maas, and Cassandra Clare.

Something wicked is coming…

Loren Calla and Darien Cassel have settled back into their old routines, grateful the whirlwind of dangers they’d faced on Kalendae and the weeks leading up to it are now behind them—or so they think.

Loren soon finds herself caught in a new storm of trouble when the Terran Imperator blackmails her into working for him. There’s only one problem: he expects her to use her magic, and she doesn’t have any left. To keep Darien and the other Devils safe, she agrees to everything the imperator asks of her. But the secrets she is forced to keep from Darien and her involvement with the imperator’s son threaten to drive her away from Darien in ways she might never recover from…

As Randal Slade’s successor, Darien wants nothing to do with his father’s throne, but the city of Angelthene has other plans. The Magical Protections Unit asks for his help in taking down the illegal arms trade his father once dabbled in, and to do that, Darien must claim his place at the top of the Darkslayers—a crown the other circles are willing to kill to possess.

As he spirals deeper into the secrets his father kept, he makes enemies of friends and friends of enemies—and finds himself buried so deep in Angelthene’s underbelly that he is uncertain he’ll ever get out of it. And if that weren’t enough, Darien fears he is going crazy when creatures appear that only he can see…
