Wounded in the Dark

Alema was one of many demons left haunted by the unspeakable actions of the demonic elite. Not long ago, her twin sister died trying to defend Samael, the King of Hell, during battle with the Queen of Demons, Lilith. Now, Alema holds Lilith responsible for her sister's death. Infiltrating Brimstone Court with the intention to kill the Queen, she comes within mere feet of fulfilling her mission when she is caught red-handed. Seeing the demon is blinded by grief, Lilith takes pity on her and exiles her, warning her never to return. However, she can see Alema's angry determination and assigns her newest lord, Trucido, to follow the furious sister. Once a general in Samael's army, he was present for the death of Alema's sister, and Lilith believes that personal connection makes him the perfect hellion for the job. At first, the two mutually underestimate each other, but their game of intrigue quickly becomes a game of seduction. When a tentative trust between them is broken, the hunt begins, and Trucido is as determined to track her down as she is to seek justice for her sister. As Trucido pursues Alema across Hell, he discovers his adversary is the one now in danger. There are others on their trail-those who want revenge for the atrocities of Samael-and they have their sights set on Alema. By the time she realizes she needs him, it may be too late for either of them to survive. Experience the story of two enemies who learn that love can save you when you're Wounded in the Dark.
