Every choice has consequences-but seventeen-year-old Layla faces tougher options than most. Light or darkness. Wickedly sexy demon prince Roth, or Zayne, the gorgeous, protective Warden that she by no means thought could possibly be hers. Hardest of all, Layla must decide which aspect of herself to trust.

Layla has a new problem, too. A Lilin-the deadliest of demons-has been unleashed, wreaking havoc on those around her, including her best friend. To maintain Sam from a destiny much, much worse than loss of life, Layla must strike a cope with the enemy while conserving her city-and her race-from devastation.

Torn between two worlds and two different young boys, Layla has no certainties, least of all survival, especially when an old bargain comes home to haunt all of them. But occasionally, when secrets are just about everywhere and the truth seems unknowable, you have to listen to your center, select a side-and then battle like hell.
