Part of Guild Hunter, book 6
First published 2013
Angels plummet from New York's skies, struck down by an unknown killer. Vampires succumb to impossible diseases that should never touch their immortal bodies. Guild hunter Elena Deveraux watches her city transform into a battlefield as death spreads through both mortal and immortal populations. She and her archangel consort Raphael race to identify the source of this plague before it destroys everything they've built together. Enemy archangels circle like vultures, ready to claim Raphael's territory when his Tower falls. But Elena and Raphael discover something worse lurks behind the attacks. A malevolent force has fixed its attention on New York and on Raphael himself. As crimson flows through the streets and nightmares take physical form, Elena must help Raphael defend not just their city but their very survival. The supernatural war threatens to reshape their world forever.
