Sauda Johnson is a half-Demon, half-human, U.S. Army assassin specialized in interrogations, and political assassinations. After a clash with new full-human teammates, she’s assigned a surveillance mission in Yemen that proves to be more than they bargained for. 

For the first time Sauda is up against a supernatural adversary, Adrian Bathory, the last male descendant of Elizabeth Bathory. When Bathory kidnaps virgin members of her team, she has to use everything in her arsenal to get them back: military training with military grade weapons, supernatural abilities, Demons, Castors, Humans, and a Shifter. 

With only a plan that leaves them at a disadvantage, her team has to break into Yemen’s historical Al-Qahira Castle, which leads to the rescue of one member, the death of another, and the discovery of a rebellion. Few of Bathory’s own Castors and Demon-Castors join Sauda’s team and alternative plan to murder the supernatural power behind the Yemeni Civil War.

Demon's Child

 Adorna stiffens, gun dropping an inch before she raises it back up. “Castor incoming,” she growls. 


 A shuffling comes from behind, but Adrian doesn’t look around and just stares at Sauda and her team. Two men come into view, between them a blood-covered Ashleigh. Her eyes are wide in her face, and the black of her pupils take up the most space. Sauda can hear her heart beating hard and fast. 


 “Get your hands off of her!” Adorna’s voice drops octaves and Jordan steps forward even more. The guard behind him steps with him. 


 “One thing that’s stopping you is that I have this Beauty. And imagine my surprise when I found out she’s a local,” Adrian laughs. 


 Ashleigh looks to Adorna, trembling with tracks of tears cutting through the blood covering her face. “I will kill you,” Adorna growls.
