She doesn’t want to destroy, but she can’t seem to do anything else! And it doesn’t help matters that her man is an ex-thug turned multimillionaire named Boston St. Rock.

It’s easy to take him with me, but again that is a problem too. “What are you, Sapphira? No who are you? I don’t even know what to ask you. What did I see today? It doesn’t make sense. I need to process this; I don’t understand any of this.” He said all in one breathe. I am the princess of the mermaid world and also the future queen.

With less than 72 hours on the clock and Xora still evading King Adriel's forces, time is running out for everyone. I don't want to think about a world overrun by demons who could care less about saving humanity. I'm doing everything in my power to track this evil thing down, but I'm not having much luck.

Now, I have another permanent one, worst yet; he's my partner's older brother, and they don't have secrets. I'm going to have to come clean and keep my game tight all while trying to save the world from a demon takeover. Good times...good times.

My failure to prevent a particularly nasty demon from completing a ritual to open a portal may have doomed us all unless I can stop what came through. That, of course, is easier said than done.

I may be a powerful soul-eating demon, but even I don't think that I'm a match for this demon. I know one thing, I'm going to need help.
