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?

They knew I was going to follow. Marek himself is gone, along with most of his crew. But a long, sleek car idles not far from the end of the drive. Leaning against the side is the rangy, mordant man who I took to be Marek’s right hand man.


“Strato,” I said as I approached, fishing his name out of my memory.


“Emily.” He flicks away his cigarette, meeting me with a smile that’s all teeth and no warmth. “I hoped you’d come. Changed your mind about dinner?” Opening the passenger door with an overly obsequious bow, everything in me screams to turn around and run back to the house. At the same time, I’m certain I wouldn’t make it twenty paces before this man would have his claws in me. Now that I’ve come, the only way is to bluff it out.
