THEIR LOVE IS DESTINED TO RISE AGAIN Ailish Donovan is a witch ready to do battle. Raised unaware of her powers, she is just sixteen when her mother tricks her into binding with the demon Asmodeus. Pure-hearted Ailish escapes with the connection incomplete but pays a heavy price: For the next eight years, she is shunned by her earth sisters and tormented by Asmodeus s lust. After hardening her body and mind as a champion kickboxer, Ailish returns home to break the bond or die. The Wing Slayer Hunter Phoenix Torq is sworn to protect earth witches, but he is shaken by Ailish s fierce independence and his own forbidden cravings. Dark, impulsive, and haunted by his troubled past, Phoenix likewise arouses Ailish in ways she finds disturbing and irresistible. Torn between mistrust and desire, each must go to hell and back to seek the magic that could set them both free."
