“Remember the darkness. Only the darkness will save you.” As part of a deal with the god of night, Ursula is sent to the Shadow Realm. There, she must live in the forbidding palace of an ancient night demon. Granted--he seems to hate her. But he's easy on the eyes, powerful as hell, and he's supposed to keep her safe. But all that changes when the god of night chooses Ursula to fight for him in series of trials. Now, she must vanquish a horde of lethal demons, one at a time... more“Remember the darkness.

But all that changes when the god of night chooses Ursula to fight for him in series of trials. Now, she must vanquish a horde of lethal demons, one at a time. Worse--she may have to battle her own guardian, who has centuries of slaughter on his side. And only one can survive. In order to live, Ursula must learn to fight like a brutal shadow demon, and resist the dark temptations of the realm. If she fails, the god of night will drag her down into hell with him. less

Ursula may have escaped the Shadow Realm, but things are worse in New York. Kester is missing, and the city is under siege by a legion of dragons. There’s a bounty on Ursula’s head – alive or dead, and the dragons prefer the latter. Ursula flees back to England, searching for hidden island of Avalon, barely staying ahead of the bloodthirsty monsters. To make things worse, she learns a dark truth about herself more terrible than she could possibly imagine... moreUrsula may have escaped the Shadow Realm, but things are worse in New York.

Ursula flees back to England, searching for hidden island of Avalon, barely staying ahead of the bloodthirsty monsters. To make things worse, she learns a dark truth about herself more terrible than she could possibly imagine. But with the powerful shadow demon Bael by her side, Ursula must focus on finding the one weapon that can fight the dragons—the sword Excalibur. If she fails, the dragons will destroy civilization completely. less

Ursula hadn’t expected to return to the Shadow Realm a prisoner, but at least the dungeon reunites her with her old mentor, Kester. That’s only a small consolation when she learns the horrific plans of a shadowy demigod. Plans that involve her. In order to fight back, she must find her fiancé, Bael. Together, they've got to steal Excalibur from the world's most powerful dragon-shifter. On her journey, her shocking past is revealed, and Ursula finally learns the truth about herself... moreUrsula hadn’t expected to return to the Shadow Realm a prisoner, but at least the dungeon reunites her with her old mentor, Kester.
