Shards of Crimson

It's been said there's no such thing as quiet here.  Ever since the metropolis first became home to paranormals, discord was named queen.  But who will be her king—vampires, werewolves, demons or men?  Pacts have come and gone, all in secret.  But one thing remains sure:  From the soaring vampire high-rises to the werewolves' labyrinth, and even on the infernal plane of Orcus, this land is a battleground and conflict is eternal.

 

Yet there are those who join together—strangers, enemies, lovers.  Here, one silken caress can be deadlier than a bullet, but some still know joy.  For darkness can become light, and in one sharp instant pain can become ecstasy and hatred, love.

 

Welcome back to Crimson City

Dark Awakening

Kimi Noguchi is working as an intern for an advertising agency in Crimson City and she's discovered that she's a kijo or witch.  She thinks having talent is cool, but her magic attracts the attention of a power-hungry Bak-Faru demon and she's forced to call on another demon, Nicodemus, for help.

 

Nic made a promise to stay away from Kimi for her own good, but now that she's summoned him, all bets are off.  She's his vishtau mate, a bond held in reverence by all demons, and he's not about to let this opportunity pass him by.  Nic plans to protect, woo and win his woman.
