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

 Atlas grabs the closest Castor to him and slits his neck. Since they knocked everyone else to the floor, no one can stop him. 


 “Aamon! I’ll trade my soul for Demon-Castor power!” 


 Eisen tries to get on his feet to get to his brother, but Atlas is already levitating. Aamon sucks his soul out of him with a flash of light, and it’s in Aamon’s hand. He grasps a glowing body-like figure in his paw. Atlas’ body hangs limp in the air. 


 A shadow opens up next to Aamon, and he shoves Atlas’ soul inside it and pulls tangible darkness out of it. He flings it at him and Atlas jerks and takes a ragged breath in. His body slams to the ground. He struggles to his hands and knees and then vomits black bile. 


 Sigurður smiles at his youngest child. 


 “Atlas!” Eisen beats feet. He kneels on the ground outside the pool of blood and black gunk. “Are you okay?” He whispers.
