When the bond Maxine Kiss shares with Zee and the boys—the demons tattooed on her skin—is deliberately severed, the hunter is left vulnerable and unprotected. For the first time in ten thousand years, the boys have a taste of freedom—without Maxine’s guiding influence.

As they grow more violent and unpredictable, Maxine starts to fear the little demons will lose their minds without their attachment to her. But reuniting won’t be easy, as a greater temptation waits for her former protectors: a chance to return to their lives as Reaper Kings and unleash hell on earth.
