Three hundred years later, the ghosts from her past are hunting for revenge... The past always finds a way to bite you in the ass. As a three-hundred-year old vengeance demon, I've made a lot of enemies. The worst was Queen Maria, the Italian Court's most devious succubus and a ruler who used me as a weapon of mass destruction to inflict pain and kill hundreds of humans in her torture chambers. Now she's back, this time as a ghost, and she's invited a new friend to the party-a vampire king who wants my head on a stake. Together they're bringing a war to Chicago that will topple the carefully constructed world I've protected for centuries. But I'm Kali Sweet. I never run from my past...and I'm not about to hide from my present.
