Part of Immortals After Dark, book 19
First published 2024
Kosmina Daciano has spent her life sheltered from danger, dreaming of adventure beyond her vampire family's protection. Her first journey to the mortal world ends in disaster when an enemy places a bloodlust curse on her, condemning her to exile in Nightside, a dying hellplane that serves as prison for immortals. There she encounters Silt Harea, an outlaw sorcerer who has spent millennia breaking the laws of the Lore. A mysterious bounty hunter has finally captured him and sent him to this same nightmare realm. Silt discovers that his captor's sister is also trapped in Nightside, and he swears revenge against her. But Kosmina proves far more formidable than he expects. As the two immortals clash in their prison dimension, Silt begins to realize that Mina might hold the key to their escape and perhaps something more. Both must survive the horrors of a collapsing realm while their hatred transforms into something neither anticipated.
