My life is pretty normal now. No demons. No soul contracts. No supernatural serial killers trying to stab me in a dark alley. It's all very safe—and boring. But when Lucifer shows up in Hell's Kitchen, he drags me into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. One I can't lose. If he gets his hands on me, he'll bind me to his side. Why? No one knows.

For two hundred years, I've held the Vampire throne. I've upheld our ancient traditions, and led the Order of Onyx Assassins. I've never questioned our rules...until now. The Covenant states that if humans discover the supernatural world, their lives are forfeit, but one run-in with human Lyric O'Brien, and I'm hooked. Smart, fierce, and sexy-as-sin, Lyric's blood tempts me with unbridled need. I never should have brought her into my world, but I can't stay away, And now she's in danger.

Things have gotten a little complicated. Asmodeus and I thought we could win the game, but we were wrong. It's only just beginning. Determined to keep us apart, Lucifer drags me into a world of flames. There's only one way out. I have to sign a demon contract. Again. But the terms of the deal are far worse than I could have ever imagined. Lucifer offers the unthinkable. He'll end the brutal game for souls and spare the world from eternal torment. On one condition. I must rip out Az's heart.

For three years, Alexandria has lived among mortals pretending to be like them and trying to forget the duty she'd been trained to fulfill as a child of a mortal and a demigod. At 17, she's pretty much accepted that she's a freak by mortal standards… and that she'll never be prepared for that duty. But as every descendant of the gods knows, Fate has a way of rearing her ugly head. A horrifying attack forces Alex to flee Miami and try to find her way back to the very place her mother had warned her she should never return - the Covenant.

Da quando Alex è diventata Apollyon, il suo legame con Seth si è rafforzato tanto da diventare un pericolo per la sua stessa vita. Nonostante i nuovi poteri e la forza inimmaginabile che ha acquisito, ora è più vulnerabile che mai, e Aiden deve trovare il modo di proteggerla. Da Seth, ma anche dagli stessi dei, pronti a scatenare una guerra pur di eliminare chiunque minacci di distruggerli. Non c'è limite a ciò che Aiden sarebbe disposto a fare per salvare la donna che ama più di se stesso.

Istehar Sha'an, whose unique powers allow her to communicate with trees and books, has led her community of refugee forest people to a remarkable place. In the archipelago-city of Moonstone, the Sha'an people find themselves in an extraordinary, multicultural metropolis that houses the Library: the world's all-encompassing repository of wisdom.

Alexandria ha sempre avuto paura di due cose: perdere sé stessa dopo il Risveglio, ed essere ridotta in servitù per mezzo dell’elisir. Ma l’amore è sempre stato più forte del fato e Aiden è pronto a dichiarare guerra all'Olimpo – e al lato oscuro di Alex – pur di riaverla con sé. Intanto il mondo è sull'orlo del caos. Gli dei hanno già ucciso una moltitudine di persone e potrebbero distruggere intere città nel tentativo di impedire ad Alex di cedere il suo potere a Seth, il primo Apollyon, rendendolo così l’invincibile Sterminatore di Dei.

Damian shared Alyssa’s visions out loud. "Apparently, the vampire that we killed was from the Bodescu covenant. It turns out that they want revenge and to wipe my covenant out of existence. There is no telling how many are in their covenant.” Ariel was the first to speak. “Is there no one in control over the covenants? Someone who is the judge and jury? Someone who can stop this nonsense?”

Alexandria non sa se ce la farà ad arrivare viva al suo diciottesimo compleanno e al fatidico Risveglio. Il fanatico Ordine di Thanatos, a lungo dimenticato, la sta cercando per eliminarla, e se il Consiglio dovesse scoprire cosa è successo davvero durante l'attacco al Covenant dello stato di New York, la sua sorte sarebbe ugualmente segnata. E così pure quella di Aiden, la Sentinella di sangue puro che farebbe di tutto per proteggerla.

Essere destinata a diventare una specie di fonte di energia soprannaturale non è esattamente quello che Alexandria sognava nella vita. Neanche se i suoi poteri servono a Seth, l'Apollyon, il più potente dei Mezzosangue, nonché... la sua ombra. Seth non la lascia un momento: la segue durante gli allenamenti, l'aspetta alla fine delle lezioni, compare persino nella sua camera da letto.

Gli Hematoi discendono dall'unione di dei e mortali, e i figli di due Hematoi di sangue puro hanno poteri di origine divina. I nati dall'unione tra i figli degli Hematoi e i mortali, invece... be', non proprio. I Mezzosangue hanno solo due possibilità: venire addestrati per diventare Sentinelle con il compito di combattere e uccidere i daimon o diventare servitori nelle dimore dei Puri. La diciassettenne Alexandria preferirebbe rischiare la vita lottando piuttosto che sprecarla pulendo i pavimenti, ma non è detto che ci riesca. La sua condotta, infatti, è tutt'altro che irreprensibile.

In exchange, he'll give me a job at his exclusive club in Hell's Kitchen.
