What the Devil Claimed
About
Femi has spent her whole life learning how to disappear.
So when loving Daemon becomes more terrifying than leaving him, she does what she has always done.
She runs.
Twenty stops away from Ravenside, the little ghost tries to build a life without the man who taught her what it meant not to be lonely. But distance does nothing to silence the thing living beneath Daemon Pallid’s skin.
The Devil remembers her.
Her strawberries.
Her quiet.
Her hands.
The way she looked at every ruined piece of him—and stayed.
And when Femi finally finds her way back into his arms, something between them changes. Desire becomes hunger. Protection becomes possession. The Devil no longer watches her from the darkness.
It wants her.
Then Lily returns. A woman from Femi’s past carrying old secrets, old betrayals, and the kind of trouble that has already learned Femi’s name.
Femi survived the streets.
She survived being forgotten.
She survived learning to love the Devil.
Now she will learn something far more dangerous.
The Devil does not fear losing what it loves.
It kills for what it has claimed.
