Demetrius Raske strikes a deal with the Devil to stop a monster stalking the city, but he may have unleashed another villain entirely...


The Capital of the United League of Nations glitters like jewels on a dame's neck-a city of wicked splendor and possibility. The deals struck in the Senate are as ruthless as the ones struck in the city's criminal underbelly. No one knows this better than vampire politician Demetrius Raske, who walks both worlds.


Demetrius fights for a bill that will grant humans and vampires equal civil liberties. But many citizens don't share his sentiment, especially after the murders begin. Body after body, drained of blood, appear throughout the city, threatening the League's tenuous peace treaty between humans and vampires. If Demetrius's bill doesn't pass the Senate, his campaign for a united future will be crushed. Only one man has the ability to apprehend the bloodthirsty monster-a man known simply as the Devil. And rumor has it, he isn't a man at all. Together, they strike a deal to catch the murderer before Demetrius's bill fails-a disaster that would push the League to the brink of civil war.


But Demetrius's calculated moves don't go unnoticed. He catches the attention of Gabriella Rose, a journalist whose hunt for her next big headline pushes her right into the murderer's path, costing her everything she holds dear. Now something dark grows within Gabriella-a power her allies wish to control and her enemies want to exploit.


The only way Demetrius and Gabriella can save themselves-and the city they love-is to strike another deal with the Devil. But their villainous partner is playing his own game. And soon they will learn how the Devil earned his name.
