A PROMISE FULFILLED

With the arrival of Saoirse, Marienelle’s world is thrown into upheaval: there are details the angel knows of her and Kuro’s past that seem to confirm all she claims, but she has not taken on mortal flesh for any idle reason. Iwalani’s soul will burn through Marienelle’s and kill her, she tells them, and she is here to save her intended…

By flinging Iwalani’s soul into the Dark.

But before the truth can be untangled from the lies, Kuro’s sudden disappearance leads Marienelle to question all that the supposed angel has told her. When Kay, Midi, and Christopher return from their vacation, a confrontation draws new battle lines between them as they devise a strategy to save both demons held in Saoirse’s grasp without enabling her to claim more.

But no victory is without sacrifice.

On the brink of fulfilling Ana’s prophecy, Marienelle will understand just how much she has lost, and Kuro will discover the heavy price of what can still be reclaimed.

The Dark is waiting.

But first, there is a soul to be saved.
