Among the Ancients is the infamous Cain, brother of Abel and embodiment of jealousy - who, on another note, wants her in his bed. A place ruled by the Ancients, seven beings who were once banished by the Aeons. A place for the outcasts, the fugitives, the crazies. Needing safety, she flees to Devil’s Cradle, the home of monsters. Because in unfairly trying to execute her, they started a chain of events they’re struggling to stop. Witch Wynter Dellavale knows that for certain. Only that they’re the first civilization.

It feels like time is running out – will Piper, used to putting everyone else first, learn to fight for what – and who – she wants? July 7, 2022 They are cold, ruthless, and will stop at nothing to achieve their twisted ends.

The situation escalates as an old terror appears from Levi’s past – a serial killer they’d all believed was dead. The whole thing is like a bad dream – and Piper knows all about them since she’s a Nightmare, a demon with the ability to trap people in their worst memories and fears forever. Neither Piper nor Levi are used to needing anyone, the crackling attraction between them is making both their demons crazy and to make matters worse, Piper’s narcissistic stepsister is Levi’s ex – and she’s not ok with the situation. But it’s not until her psyche brushes his in an unguarded moment that they both realise: they are anchors. With his broad, muscular frame and gunmetal grey gaze he makes a statement without saying a word. He’s the kind of man who it’s impossible to ignore. Someone who has already shown he’ll do anything to possess her. Someone who is proving difficult to unmask. Someone who has so far kept to the shadows. There’s another who believes he has a claim to her. But it turns out that they’re the least of his problems, because Luke isn’t the only one who has been watching and waiting for Blair to grow. It’s finally nearing the time he can make her his, and he’s done playing nice with her interfering parents. She gave him purpose, peace, and balance. Before Blair, his mind was a place of endless blackness. Luke Devereaux has only one: a fierce, lethal bush dog shifter who is also his mate. Not even the most ruthless of men are without a weakness.

But the recent discovery on her porch comes as a shock, forcing Blair to face that she’s become the focus of a predator that lurks in the darkness and now intends to close in on her. Knowing her parents are extremely opposed to it, she isn’t surprised when her mother attempts to derail it. When she turns nineteen in a few months’ time, he’ll officially claim her and she’ll then join his pride. For the past six years, Luke has watched over and supported her. She’d known down to her bones that the broody alpha cat shifter was her true mate. Blair Kendrick was just twelve-years-old when she stared into slate blue eyes and sensed that her world was about to change.
