BOOK #1

For fifteen years, I've served as the sidekick to one of Chicago's most sought-after exorcists, banishing demons and surviving night terrors so vicious I couldn't confide in anyone but my own four walls. Then my mentor abandons me when I need him most, leaving me with a case I can't solve and a growing fear that I'm not quite the righteous exorcist-intraining I thought I was. Because the evil I'm sworn to destroy? It isn't out there. It's inside me. And it won't leave without a fight. Struggling to find answers and make my way alone, I take my first solo exorcism-just a routine cleanse of a wealthy, secretive family in their sprawling country estate. Except nothing about that house is routine. Corruption leaks from the walls. Death stains the floorboards. And the deeper I dig, the more I uncover a pulsing demonic underworld of power and rot that makes hell look like a carnival ride. To survive it, I'll need to confront the creature keening within me, filling my mind with temptation and my body with forbidden desire. But this battle will leave more than scars-and here's the vicious twist: I want him gone. I need him more...Almost as much as he needs me.
