Every night at 11:51, demon hunter Imogen Rook finds the same man waiting in her room.

Rafe has nine minutes to speak, one minute to touch her, if she permits it, and at 12:01, he vanishes.

Imogen should kill him. Instead, she listens. Their nightly interrogations become something hotter, more dangerous and far harder to resist. But whenever Rafe tries to reveal why he has come, black sand fills his mouth. Meanwhile, nine iron points are beginning to rise from Imogen’s shadow like the teeth of a crown.

Rafe hasn’t come to steal her soul. He has come to stop the future waiting for her. And with every forbidden touch, Imogen moves closer to becoming the very thing he was sent to destroy.
