She ignored the squishing noises beneath her feet, ignored the rats and the sound of moisture dripping down the walls. Tayla held her spiked blade in one hand and her stang in the other as they followed the trail of blood. The sound of blades clearing their leather wrist housings echoed through the narrow passageway. She crouched at the base of the ladder, touched her fingers to a dark smear on the tunnel’s brick wall.

Tayla wiggled her pinky ring out of the same habit, but the protective talisman wouldn’t help her in this instance her night vision had always been exceptional even without magic. Out of habit - habit in the face of danger - Janet played with her necklace, a crucifix marked on the back with an etching of the Aegis Shield. There were no lights, but the darkness posed no problem, not for any Aegis Guardian. With a final glance into the night, they hurried down the ladder into tunnels ripe with the acrid stench of decay and waste. “Looks clear,” Tay said, and Janet lifted the heavy grating. The gold side made short work of demons like the Cruentus they were hunting, and she wanted the weapon at the ready. Standing next to the sewer access, Tay fingered her jacket pocket where she kept her stang, an S-shaped, dual-ended blade, each coated with a different metal.

This part of New York City was a third world country at war, and the cops had long ago gone U.N. Hell, even the cops wouldn’t give rat’s ass. Somewhere nearby, a dog barked, and gunfire erupted, probably another gang drive-by, but Tay and Janet weren’t cops, and they didn’t care. When she falls for Eidolon, who has shown her erotic pleasures she’d never dreamed of, she must face the horrors of her past and choose between becoming one of the very creatures she’s hunted–or death.ĭarkness fell like a guillotine blade, severing Tayla and her partner from the daylight. Her assignment is to find a way to destroy Underworld General. Now Eidolon, a doctor at Underworld General as well as a demon whose instincts to mate are growing stronger, must pair up with a sexy Aegis Guardian named Tayla Mancuso to learn the truth behind the killings. Someone is killing demons–someone other than the Aegis demon slayers, anyway. Another yummy paranormal series is on the way!
