Synopsis
For the first printing only! This deluxe paperback features stunning character art printed on the inside covers while the special edition supply lasts. Loren and Darien face impossible choices in the fourth book of the gripping urban romantasy House of Devils series, perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Sarah J. Maas, and Cassandra Clare. For the past six months, Loren Calla’s life has consisted of one simple objective: stay alive. With her new friends and the love of a ruthless Darkslayer, she has defied the odds. But with the Veil rapidly falling, and swarms of bloodthirsty creatures invading Yveswich, survival has once again stepped beyond her reach. Pushed into a war between worlds, she must ask herself a question: what—or who—is she willing to sacrifice for victory? For love? Darien Cassel’s luck is running out. A new threat is emerging, and to stop it he must push himself to the breaking point—but this time, if he falls, he may not get back up. Meanwhile, despite his father’s orders, Roman Devlin once again finds himself falling for Shay Cousens. With enemies closing in from all sides, Roman faces a decision that could give him the future he always dreamed of…or destroy it. All must stand. All must fight. But this time nothing, not even love, may be enough to save them…
