A trip back to where it all began reveals the terrifying truth—everything Tessa claimed about demons was true. Lost in grief and alcohol, Ben casts his intuition aside and enters Savannah’s most haunted house seeking answers.
Unbeknownst to Ben, there is still one demon left—and she specializes in vengeance. He is face-to-face with evil incarnate.
He doesn’t think he believes in demons. But he can’t deny the voice inside his head and the dreams of a serpent-haired woman promising him unfathomable power. To resist would mean losing his soul and forsaking the lives of everyone he loves. To submit would mean avenging Tessa for the life stolen from her in exchange for his own.
Now Ben must make a choice—deny a truth, threatening to tear his mind apart—or reunite the five flames, and watch the world burn.
