“What does it mean then? Being friends with a demon?”


Now in possession of the mysterious dagger, Sylvia expected her vampire boyfriend Theo to help her discover the secrets of the ancient artifact. But when Theo abandons her to answer his Maker’s call, she is left to depend on the only reliable person in her life: the demon Pilkington.

Unlike Sylvia, Pilkington has always known what he desires, but more than anything, he wants his human friend to be happy—even if that means watching her fight for the love of another man. He’s still a demon, though—and certainly not above tempting Sylvia's heart as their bond grows deeper over the long nights chasing clues about the weapon’s powers.

When a chance encounter with a witch reveals Pilkington’s secret, Sylvia must face the questions of her past to find her future. Between dangerous old foes, threatening new enemies, and an unexpected love triangle, she must decide where she belongs in this strange new world—and who she wants to keep close.
