Wicked Descent

Viola survived the darkness. Thane is dead but his corruption is still growing inside her.

Matic is finally free of his prison, though the Munadi have replaced his chains with probation. When Viola’s veins begin turning to crystal, he is offered a bargain: escort a notorious dragon criminal into Tehom, and he can earn his freedom while searching for her cure.

But Tehom is already poised for war.

Cut off from Earth’s ley lines and surrounded by ancient predators, Viola becomes the perfect target: the mortal weakness of the legendary Storm-Walker. Until Matic offers her the only power Tehom will allow her to wield—his own.

One taste of his essence transforms her magik into something darker, hungrier and terrifyingly powerful. Viola promises herself she’ll stop when they find the cure. Matic insists he is only keeping her alive.

They are both lying.

With every feeding, Viola becomes less vulnerable—and less human. As dragon factions rebel, demon houses vie for control and seven imprisoned powers begin to stir, Matic realizes he doesn’t want the woman Viola was restored.

He wants the darkness claiming her.

But Tehom’s cure may demand everything Viola has become and something ancient is waiting for her beneath the realm.
