“I could be more cooperative…” My eyes darkened. “If we made a deal.”

Zander’s gaze narrowed, but I didn’t look over to him. Instead, I held Xanthia’s calculating stare, feeling sure that if I turned away she’d strike.

“Let my brother go free & I’ll give you all the blood you need. I’ll be compliant. I won’t even try to escape.”

Endangered. Exhausted. Expecting.

Cadence Laurence has been through hell, & yet she’s still come out kicking & screaming on the other side. Her lifelong enemy, her own personal demon, Maurice, is finally dead.

Once upon a time, this would have been the answer to all of her problems, but Xanthia, her once lover’s ex, has kidnapped her brother, hoping to pump his blood for the cure that lies within.

Only, Cadence isn’t about to let that happen without a fight. She’s hot on their trail with Zander by her side. Reunited with her once lover, can she trust him or is he still working for Xanthia? & can Cadence finally defeat the Queen of the Wastelands to save her brother?

Or will this finally finish her off?
