Death is patient.
For years, Katarina has outrun fate, defied ancient powers, and sacrificed everything for the people she loves. But every bargain leaves a mark, and every debt eventually comes due.
As dark forces gather in the shadows and old enemies emerge with vengeance in their hearts, the line between ally and adversary begins to blur. The supernatural world is unraveling, exposing long-buried secrets that threaten not only Katarina's future, but the future of everyone she has fought to protect.
To save those she loves, she must confront the truth about her past, who she is, and the devastating choice waiting at the end of her journey.
Some curses demand blood. Some loves demand everything. And sometimes the only way to truly live ... is to face death before dying.
