Between Descents
PRE-ORDER NOW!
Viola Bennett asked Matic for space. With her best friend’s wards keeping even his shadows away, she finally has room to decide what she wants.
Unfortunately, she still wants him.
Before she freed a half-demon vampyr, Viola had interests that didn’t involve surviving his enemies or questioning whether her feelings belonged to his dead wife. Abandoned buildings. Forgotten history. An unfinished article about a ruined Ontario church.
Returning to St. Raphael’s should give her something of her own to pursue. But her newly awakened magik reveals a doorway buried beneath the present-day walls—and something waiting beyond it that her photographs never captured.
While Viola searches the ruins with Emery and Kaylee, Matic returns to Phantombrook Estate. His wife’s belongings remain where she left them. His family’s home is collapsing. And his sister’s attempts to give him a future leave him fighting for the right to grieve his past.
He has survived five centuries of imprisonment. He has considerably less patience for a woman who has made herself impossible to find.
But Viola’s investigation is becoming harder to explain. A glimpse beneath the church leaves her with a woman suspended in crystal, a warning she cannot decipher, and questions about what her power can reach.
The man she’s trying to live without may be the only one who understands what she’s found.
A companion novella in The Damned and The Devoured, featuring dual POV, obsessive longing, female friendship, and a supernatural mystery. Read after Shadow Descent and before Wicked Descent.
