"Die Wüste kennt keine Gnade, und ich auch nicht." Der gefallene Chaosgott Seth ist mit dem Leben zufrieden, das er sich seit seinem Fall aufgebaut hat – Rock'n'Roll, sein Chopper und die Gesellschaft von Freunden. Doch dann taucht die verschmorte Leiche eines Immobilienmaklers auf, der es auf Seths Bar, das Heliopolis, abgesehen hatte.

I'm John Taylor. I was born in the Nightside, that square mile in the hidden center of London where it is always the hour of the wolf, where gods and monsters walk side by side, and where every dark question ever asked can be answered—for a price. I left for a while, but I did come back, to make my living doing what I do better than anyone else: finding things—lost or stolen, real or imaginary. Recently, I found the most dangerous thing of all: the true identity of my long-gone mother. Turns out she's a being who's been around since before the dawn of history.

London couldn't be further from L.A., but stuntwoman-turned-vampire hunter Dawn Madison knows that her job hasn't changed - find the local vampire Underground and wipe it out. She and her team have located the vamps' lair at a private girls' school and now they have the undead on the run. But the vicious pack is starting to realize that its greatest threat may be from within its own ranks.

I’ve always wanted to conquer the Big 5 dungeons ever since one of them took the life of my father nearly fifteen years ago. Nobody ever said the Path of Progression was easy, but my burning desire to dive can’t be quenched. I just never thought I’d be prohibited from getting a diving license just because I tried to help a bratty blonde girl get hers. Soon, we’re joined by a lovely brunette bookworm, and we start diving the dungeon on our own terms. As it turns out, I have a few abilities that greatly increase our chances of actually finishing the Path, leading to a life of fame and luxury.

Мой мир снова перевернулся… Проблемы оказались куда масштабнее и вышли на межмировой уровень. Любимый мужчина, которому я доверяла, скрывал невероятные тайны. Княжич теней, портивший мне жизнь в академии, стал союзником. А я решила принять чужую силу и побороться с тем, кто жаждет ее получить. Путь будет тяжелым и рискованным, но это мой выбор! И я пройду его до конца.

This is the ride of my life, and I've faced every single challenge that came my way by charging in and getting it done. Now, this might be my greatest challenge ever. To save my godson's life, I will have to travel to the unknown world of the Fae and navigate the dark and dangerous halls of the Unseelie King's palace to plant my butt on his throne. If my enemies want to come after me, they better bring a burn kit because my magic is hotter than dragon's fire, hot enough to burn them to cinder and I'm all out of dickens to give.
