She's a fugitive with supernatural secrets, an uneasy alliance with a man she already betrayed, and an enemy who wants them all dead. Trust the wrong person, and everything burns.



Artemis is used to running. Burned safehouses, grimy motels, the constant hum of a motorcycle engine swallowing the distance between her and certain death — this is her life now. Forced to flee the only sanctuary she'd known, she and her reluctant partner are pulled straight back into the city they barely escaped, chasing the ghost of a resistance that may already be compromised.



When a trusted mentor reveals that the scientist Artemis seduced for information is actually the secret leader of the underground resistance, the betrayal cuts both ways. Now she's expected to trust him with her life — and possibly something far more dangerous: the truth about what's been done to her. Because Diana Foxberry isn't just a traitor. She's building something. And the experimental serum already running through Artemis's veins may be exactly what Diana needs to finish it. With a morally gray alliance, a partner whose feelings complicate everything, and powers she can barely control, Artemis is fighting a war on three fronts — against the Bureau, against Diana, and against herself.



Can Artemis expose the conspiracy tearing her world apart before the secrets she's hiding become the weapon that destroys everyone she has left to protect?



Caryssa Cole writes paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and romance novels, and has dreamed of magical, mysterious worlds since childhood. A lifelong fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, she believes that in every shadow lies a glimmer of light (and a good deal of sarcasm). She lives with her husband, two teenage sons, and two adopted cats in a climate far too hot for a full Gothic aesthetic—though she still dreams of black coats and heavy boots. Caryssa loves Tarot, even if the cards don't always reciprocate. In her books, she seeks emotion, magic, and characters who can entertain and move even the darkest night.
