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

 Everyone gathers around Eisen as he dials a number and puts his phone on speaker. Only two rings and it’s answered with, “Yeah.” 


 “We’re all here,” Eisen says and then looks up to the room. “I’m sure everyone has heard that we’re moving up our plans to attack.” Murmurs go around the room and heads nod. “Adrian is severely weakened right and we want to strike back before he uses blood to regain his strength.” 


 “How do we know he hasn’t done that already?” Maddox asks. 


 “He hasn’t,” says the voice on the phone. “He’s waiting for Lux. He likes to do it when she’s watching. He enjoys watching her… watch him when he does things like that.” There was no pity in the male’s voice or enjoyment. Just dead facts. Sauda didn’t look towards Asiya, didn’t want to embarrass her. 


 “This is Xavier, our lead Demon-Castor in Ethiopia.” And before anyone could object, “we’ve got the same report from our innocent eyes on the inside.”
