Alice Worth is back…and all her plans are going straight to Hell.

Mage private investigator Alice Worth survived a kidnapping and said yes to a very important question. But before she and alpha werewolf Sean Maclin have a chance to celebrate, the fallout from a coup at the Vampire Court and the attack on her pack lands right on her doorstep. The Court's new leader threatens to destroy everything Alice has worked so long to build.

As Alice fights to protect herself and those around her from the Court and her crime lord grandfather, she and her ghost sidekick Malcolm reluctantly take the case of a man who claims he committed murder while controlled by an unknown supernatural force. Though initially skeptical, they soon find evidence that supports the client's claim. The bloodthirsty entity's murderous spree forces Alice and her allies to hunt it down while dealing with Alice's strange, vivid nightmares and mysterious attacks by followers of a vicious black magic practitioner.

It's a hell of a to-do list: hunt a supernatural serial killer, keep herself and those she loves alive and out of prison, forge new alliances, and face a new and looming threat unlike any she has ever encountered. Even with plenty of coffee on hand and her ghost sidekick Malcolm watching her back, Alice suspects she may be in over her head.

Betrayals, deadly traps, and black magic will send Alice to the deepest, darkest, and most nightmarish pits of Hell…and force her to choose between justice for the living and the rising power of the damned.

When dealing with vampires, expect betrayal at every turn…

Mage private investigator Alice Worth's life has changed dramatically. On the plus side, she has a new home to share with alpha werewolf Sean Maclin and her ghost sidekick Malcolm. She's also gained an office with her name on the door, a fearsome ally, and dark magic inherited from a defeated enemy.

On the downside, a dire prophecy hangs over her head, she's uncovered a terrible betrayal, and the new magic is killing her.

When the ancient head of the Vampire Court calls in a favor, Alice is forced to put aside her own problems to hunt a stolen treasure. She and Malcolm travel to realms full of wonders and nightmares in their pursuit of a thief consumed by need for vengeance. To survive and return home, they must rely on a motley group of highly unusual allies.

In pursuit of justice, Alice and Malcolm face many terrifying adversaries. Unfortunately, some are much closer to home than they could imagine…

The first time Moses Murphy's granddaughter killed on his orders, she was six years old.

For twenty years, she was a prisoner of an organized crime syndicate, forced to use her magic to make Moses the most powerful and feared man on the East Coast. To escape his cruelty, she faked her own death and started a new life as Alice Worth. As a private investigator specializing in cases involving the supernatural, Alice walks a precarious line between atoning for the sins of her grandfather's cabal and keeping her true identity hidden.

Hired to investigate the disappearance of a mysterious object of power, Alice enlists the help of Malcolm, a ghost running from a past as nightmarish as her own. It soon becomes clear the missing object was taken by someone with a dangerous secret and an unknown agenda. When her client is kidnapped, Alice must find her and the object of power before a vengeful killer destroys the city and slaughters thousands—starting with Alice.
