No one survives hiring me. Not even her.

I'm a Nightmare, a creature that feeds on fear, and I'm capable of boundless cruelty—which is why my services come at a steep price: the life of the person who hired me. As such, the only people who hire me on are those brought to me by fate, like Mina, a woman so desperate for revenge that she's willing to spend her own life to get it.

I don't usually care why I'm hired. Human affairs don't matter to me. Food is food, and a job is a job.

Mina's enemies will get what they deserve—and I'll get what's mine.

Her beating heart.
