I thought I knew what evil looked like.
I was wrong.
For years, I believed Victor Kane was the monster at the center of everything...
The man pulling strings, destroying lives, and hunting the people I love.
I was prepared to burn down the world to stop him.
But Victor was only a distraction.
The truth is darker. Older. More sinister.
And it’s been watching me far longer than I ever realized.
Now Ariana is caught in the crosshairs of something far bigger than revenge.
Something that doesn’t just want power.
It wants obedience. Devotion. Sacrifice.
I’ve hunted monsters my entire life.
But this time, the monster isn’t in the shadows.
He’s been standing beside me all along.
