I never wanted to go to Mardi Gras. The wild parties, the chaos—none of it was for me. But my sister Raya lives for it, and spending time with her means everything. So, I went, determined to survive the madness for her sake.
Then I met him. A man so captivating it was impossible to look away. There was something dangerous about him, something eerily familiar, but I couldn’t place it. Not until the night that changed everything.
What started as a night of fun and celebration turned into a nightmare. Creatures that shouldn’t exist attacked us. The supernatural world isn’t real… at least, I thought it wasn’t. But now Raya is missing, and no one will believe me.
I know what I saw. I know she’s out there somewhere. But can I find her before it’s too late? And more terrifyingly—am I next?

“What are you doing?” a familiar voice hisses when a cry slips past my lips and cracks in the air. Hands on my shoulders spin me around, and I’m suddenly face to face with Tatiana. Her eyes flash with confusion and irritation. “Are you trying to draw attention to yourself?”


“You grabbed me,” I protest weakly, but she waves me off.


“You didn’t leave me much choice. Walking straight down the middle of the open market? Dressed like that?” She looks down at the outfit I’ve cobbled together, utterly flummoxed. “I mean, what the hell are you wearing?”


“I’m sorry, I didn’t think…” Looking down at the patchwork outfit I’ve put together, nothing seems to go together. Alita has a meager wardrobe, and I’m piled up with so many scarves and trinkets, I might as well be a storybook fortune teller.
