The Five find their way to Moab, Utah where, before they’re even settled in, evil finds them.
As Paige fights to keep from succumbing to the pull of an Incubus that has her marked as his next conquest, Johnathan seeks to find a way to rid her of a curse she willingly accepted in order to save him.
A surprising revelation initiates a long-awaited, yet unexpected, reunion for Alec who discovers a new magical talent he possesses.
The FIVE, along with their mentor, Joe, must figure out what was meant by the last words of a Demon as it was sent back to the Netherworld—a promise of Gathering darkness—and stop the evil before it’s unleashed on the small town of Moab. And, the world.
Excerpt
I was dreaming—some disjointed, nonsensical
nightmare—when I felt a heavy pressure on my chest; like someone was sitting on
me. I worked to breathe as it became a little harder to push air in and out of
my lungs. The feelings of anxiety and doom returned ten-fold and my eyes flew
open. Of course all I saw was darkness. An immense black hole where there used
to be light.
With a rush of adrenaline I raised my hands to
push at whatever was on my chest. I twisted my hips, trying to turn to my side.
Something gripped my wrists and forced my hands to the ground beside my head. I
felt the weight shift down and legs like a wrestler’s wrap around my knees,
pinning me in place with the strength of a bear. A scream froze in my throat.
No sound could escape through the icicles of my vocal cords.
A mouth pressed against my ear. The breath
unnaturally hot as an unfamiliar man’s voice whispered, “Shhh, Paige. Everything’s
fine. You want this. You want me. You’ll never want anything more than
what I’m going to give you right now. Just relax and enjoy.” His voice flowed
like melted chocolate—smooth, sweet, and addicting.
The most terrifying thing about the words he breathed
into my ear was—I believed them. The fear that wrapped around my heart like the
tentacles of an octopus just slithered away—replaced by desire as his lips
closed over mine, hot and moist. I kissed him back with great intensity. My
mind became fuzzy and thoughts were slow to form.
