"Silke Vriese Reinders knows a war is coming. The demon slayer has seen it over and over - and the battle won't just be for the survival of her village, but for all mankind. Silke knows the only way to win will be with the help of the Carpathians. One of the oldest, most dangerous Carpathians, Benedek Kovak, is more beast than man. For so long Benedek has felt nothing. Now, some dark art is compelling him to indulge in cravings he thought long buried. But Silke is nothing like he imagined. Perhaps she's strong enough to fight back the darkness. Perhaps together they can defeat an adversary hell bent on destroying them all."--
