The darkness spares no one.




Jack Burton doesn't like complications. He protects witches, kills demons, and avoids humans. Period. The simplicity of his mission as a warrior has shaped the better part of his nearly one hundred years. And he'd have taken one hundred more just like it, but then he stumbled into the wrong bar, on the wrong night, and everything changed.




As if Claire Lawson's luck wasn't bad enough she gets dumped by her boyfriend and then attacked in the parking lot - on the same night. When she wakes to find a surly protector still standing guard she should have known she was in trouble. But there was no way she could have ever guessed just how much.




With the case of a missing witch still drawing the Brotherhood of Sevens together outside Boston, Jack's fears are growing about what the team is up against. The last thing they need is a human caught in the middle of their war. And the last thing he needs is to be distracted. But Claire more than distracts him. She sets off a flare in the darkness, drawing them together until he can't turn away. As he struggles to keep her safe, and free her from his world, he makes a gamble with all their lives.
