Ailith is a trained hunter who rids the world of otherworldly creatures.

​

When The Black Sanctum dispatcher her to Rome, she expects wolves banshees, maybe a rogue ghost.

She doesn’t expect the gargoyle perched on the cathedral rooftop.

​

Malach isn’t a mortal. He isn’t tame. And he definitely isn’t on her side. He hates everything The Black Sanctum stands for... everything Ailith represents.

​

But something far worse is taking over the city.

​

A parasite wearing human skin, multiplying in the dark, feeding on the city one body at a time. Malach has been killing them the only way he can, ripping out their corrupted hearts and taking the rot into himself to keep the curse at bay.

​

A reluctant alliance forms as hunter and monster search for a way to stop the infection before it consumes the world.

Then Ailith discovers the truth.

​

Her bloodline is the same one that cursed Malach into stone.

​​​​​​​And she may be the only one who can save him.
