But love has always been stronger than Fate, and Aiden St. Delphi is willing to make war on the gods—and Alex herself—to bring her back. The gods have killed thousands and could destroy entire cities in their quest to stop Seth from taking Alex’s power and becoming the all-powerful God Killer. But breaking Alex’s connection to Seth isn’t the only problem. There are a few pesky little loopholes in the whole “an Apollyon can’t be killed” theory, and the only person who might know how to stop the destruction has been dead for centuries.

Ha rájönnek, mire képes Daemon, és főleg, hogy mi ketten összekapcsolódtunk, akkor nekünk annyi. Az iskolában felbukkanó új srác sem hiányzott. Ő is tele van titkokkal. Tudja, mi okozza a körülöttem zajló sok furcsaságot, és segítene is rajtam... de ennek súlyos ára van. És aztán az események még vadabb fordulatot vesznek. Láttam valakit, akit halottnak hittem.

Kathleen Tierney - Blood ​Oranges
My ​name’s Quinn. If you buy into my reputation, I’m the most notorious demon hunter in New England. But rumors of my badassery have been slightly exaggerated. Instead of having kung-fu skills and a closet full of medieval weapons, I’m an ex-junkie with a talent for being in the wrong place at the right time. Or the right place at the wrong time. Or…whatever. Wanted for crimes against inhumanity I (mostly) didn’t commit, I was nearly a midnight snack for a werewolf until I was “saved” by a vampire calling itself the Bride of Quiet. Already cursed by a werewolf bite, the vamp took a pint out of me too. So now…now, well, you wouldn’t think it could get worse, but you’d be dead wrong.
