An eye for an eye, a curse for a curse...or the poison in her blood will consume her.

The horrific night Namika Strang's people lost the demon war, she got in one last punch-straight to the demon leader's face. Adam Ashton's retaliation should have been swift and deadly. Instead, he locked her in a gilded prison below the CrowBar nightclub, stripped of the dark magic her people once used to exterminate demonkind.

Except Namika holds onto a secret. She possesses the natural-born magic to escape-if she can elude the cold, predatorial gaze that sends shivers across her skin even as it sets fire to her blood. And if she can avoid being lulled by Adam's small acts of kindness, the touches and kisses that leave her head spinning with confusion.

When her one chance to escape goes terribly wrong, she is forced to accept Adam's brand to stave off a blood curse that will turn her into a ghoul. Now connected in ways she can't begin to understand, Namika and Adam begin the desperate search for a way to break the curse.

But their hunt leads to secrets hidden deep in her shadowy family ties. Secrets that could send her to hell as surely as the ghoul blood searing her veins...
