Publisher's Synopsis
The conquest of demon ridden Traag almost destroyed the Solarian Empire. Now, the Empire is slowly being rebuilt - but the demons are still out there.
Tia Samos came to Cosslet Barony hunting for an aristocrat willing to marry a wealthy commoner. She finds an impoverished populace terrorized by a deadly beast. Her maybe swain, Baron Ian Cortez is good looking and has a great personality - but he also has a giant pile of bills. Is he the one?
Sir Peter Cortez is Ian's bastard brother, a hard man tired of shedding blood on distant battlefields. Bringing Tia to Ian and dispatching the monster is sure to gain him a place - right?
Tia's oafish carriage driver Kyle is a veteran with a knack for magic and a headful of nightmares. He wants to settle down and forget the horror - and Cosslet just might be that new home.
Together, they find secrets, opportunities...and sheer terror.
