"He should be dead. I thought I'd killed him. I was wrong." Three dead enforcers in three weeks, their bodies butchered. Muse has seen it before, and when she reads the metal memories in the murder weapon, she sees it all again. Her owner, Damien, is back, and he wants what is rightfully his. Muse escaped him and the netherworld, once before. This time, she's stronger, smarter. This time she knows she has the fires of hell at her fingertips, but so does Damien, and he's not the only one. Akil is weak. No longer a Prince of Hell, he needs Muse's limitless power to regain his title. How fortuitous then, that Akil's fate is tied to the one man she cares the most for. As Muse, Stefan, and Akil battle their own demons, not all will come away victorious. Some choices can never be forgiven. Some lies are never forgotten. Some wounds will never heal.

"It's too late to save myself, but I'll save her, even if it kills me." When Akil leaves a nine year old half-blood girl on Muse's doorstep, it's not long before the demons come hunting, but this time Muse isn't the target. The Institute, Muse's immortal brother, and the Princes of Hell, all want a piece of the little half-blood. What's so special about Dawn, and why has Akil conveniently disappeared just as Muse needs answers? To save the half-blood girl, Muse must first save herself, but is it already too late? Muse's humanity is failing. Her demon hungers. The darkness coiled around her heart lures her toward madness. And all that stands between Muse and her demon's lust for destruction, is the hope that some half-bloods do get happy endings. The veil weakens. Titles will fall. A new prince rises. And if Muse can't stop them, the demons will have their day.

"I wasn't demon enough to defeat my brother before. Things have changed." As the veil begins to fall, and the demons bleed through onto the streets of Boston, Muse knows the battle is lost before it's even begun. To make matters worse, Adam and the Institute have captured Akil at a time when the city has never needed him more. Muse believes Akil's incarceration is a ruse, because if he truly is at the mercy of the Institute, she must choose which side she'll fight for. Human or demon? The princes are coming. Valenti, Muse's immortal half-brother, leads the charge. The Institute is not ready, the people of Boston are not prepared, but one man is. Stefan knows what it will take to beat back the netherworld. Will his demon allow him the freedom to right his wrongs? Muse's loyalty will be tested. To save those she loves, she must give up that which she cherishes most. Her humanity. The Mother of Destruction is about to go nuclear.

I am fire. I am destruction. I will be their nightmare. The veil fell. Demons are here. Muse knows she can stop the slaughter, but to do so, she must return to the battle-scarred streets of Boston and face the cold, hard, truth. Her old life is ashes. Her love, turned to dust. But all is not lost; a spark of hope remains. A spark from which an inferno can blaze. To stop the demons claiming Earth as their own, Muse must unite those capable of repairing the veil. The Dark Court, led by her Prince of Lust father, seek to recruit her to their cause. They want the veil destroyed for good; for chaos to reign for eternity. She will need to manoeuvre around their deadly intentions, and enlist the King of Hell's help, before it's too late. For Muse to succeed, she must survive her father, save her soul, resurrect her love, forgive her enemies, and betray a trust. She must be everything she can be-demon and human. She must be their nightmare.
