She has nowhere to turn, until the man who walked away from her so long ago appears in her hotel room with a knife and a promise she can't afford to believe.

As a seeker, I can track those captured children’s souls, but to spring them will take magic I haven’t got.That's where Tamnais Nathrach comes in. He's the seductive embodiment of sin itself.

Why are the most dangerous predators the most beautiful? The stakes are high; the odds of success are low. And I'm betting with my life—a life I'll have to trust to a darkly tempting goblin mage I just met.
