When a Pact goes awry and her brothers are arrested, Eda realises she’ll need an infernal ally of her own: Kit’rath, a demon with a curious penchant for humanity, and the only being in Blackbridge Mr Night seems to fear. As they race to rescue her family and save the city from ruin, an undeniable connection sparks between mortal and demon.But Kit’s help doesn’t come cheap. Now, Eda risks losing her heart to the one who claims her years—and saving herself may prove the steepest cost of all.
