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

 Dressed comfortably in a pair of black high rise jeans and a tight forest green shirt, Sauda rearranges her belt and gun holster straps for the eighth time, checking to see if anyone harmed them. She was waiting for everyone else to get dressed and trying to figure out what she could use to clean her gear. Cleanliness was next to godliness, and that included guns. 


 Sauda stops with her belt in her hands. Angry that they took her things so roughly and ripped her belt a little, and mad that the gun wasn’t even on safety when they casually tossed it at her, barrel first. 


 She took one deep breath in, one deep breath out. Taking the time to feel the floor underneath her feet. Deep breath in. She feels the air from the wind on her skin. Deep breath out. When she is calm enough, she puts the belt down on the table next to her guns and knives.
