Haven hits the road with her newly discovered sister, desperate to understand the family curse that binds them both. The events at Malice House left scars, but the real danger follows close behind. An ancient salesman stalks their trail, his whispered words bending anyone to his will. He doesn't just want to catch them. He wants to remake the entire world according to his twisted vision. Haven must learn to control powers she barely understands while staying one step ahead of a creature who can turn allies into enemies with a single breath. The curse that once seemed like her greatest burden may be the only thing standing between humanity and total domination. As the hunt intensifies, Haven discovers that some family secrets are worth dying to protect. This second installment in The Malice Compendium pushes deeper into the dark magic that runs in Haven's bloodline, where every revelation comes with a price and trust becomes the most dangerous luxury of all.
