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

 Succubus hands wrap around magic free cell bars and push as easily as a human would a balloon. The entire wall of iron fell and Lux jumps out of the way. Everyone can hear Jordan de-shifting, but Adorna and Sauda keep their eyes on the person who helped them free. 


 Sauda has a range of emotions looking at the girl; Anger at Bathory for hurting her, sad that she had to go through the pain they put her through, and respect and pride that she took that pain and turned it into strength. 


 Adorna felt no such thing. Her wings are the same muddy red as her skin. The top set of wings coming out of her shoulder blades have talons on the top where the bones are conjoined. Her smaller wings grow from the middle of her arched back. All the tips of her wings, just like the end of her limbs, look as if they’ve dipped in ink. They are smaller and more slender than Sauda’s wings, but stronger as they lower and launch Adorna at Lux.
