The Problem with Power

Emily VonPeer hopes that she never meets the man of her dreams. For years, she's been haunted by visions of an unknown lover destined to die in her arms. When her aunt's death brings her home to her family's estate in upstate New York, she meets Nicholas Flynn, who happens to be the man from her dreams. Nicholas is an agent of Paladin, an enterprise dedicated to the study and eradication of demons, and he's seeking answers for a slew of magically-related murders tied to the VonPeer family. Although his intentions are suspect, Emily follows Nicholas into the investigation, hoping to spare him the fate promised by her premonitions - at least, that's what she tells herself. When their exchange with a demon goes awry, Emily sustains an injury that threatens to turn her into a monster. Her transformation places her in the crosshairs of sorcerers, senators, and a seductive stranger who promises eternity.
