Synopsis:
Unlike her famous older
brother Maxon, Princess Portia isn’t known for killing demons or
attracting admirers. The reason why is simple: a spell was cast on
Portia, and the magic has marked her to one day transform into a dreaded
Void demon. To fight this horrible fate, Portia’s spent her life hiding
in libraries and learning magic. But when the Void demons threaten to
destroy all the after-realms—and the handsome dragon Emperor Tempest
offers his help—then Portia suspects that her future holds more than
just a demonic metamorphosis. Fate is calling the bookworm princess onto
the battlefield, and it’s a fight against both deadly enemies and her
heart’s desires.
May be read as a stand-alone.

Excerpt:
I am so late.
My heart beats at double speed while I rush up the staircase to the Ryder mansion. After pulling open the fancy wooden door, I step inside a large and empty foyer. Well, it’s almost empty.
The President of Purgatory is waiting for me. Not good.
Even worse, her mouth is pressed into a thin and frustrated line. No question why she’s unhappy. My lecture on Magic Across The After-Realms should’ve started twenty minutes ago.
“Portia, you’re finally here,” she sighs. “We were getting frantic.”
The President’s known for being tough on crime, graft, and well, everything really. But she’s also my grandmother. When it comes to family, Gram’s a softie who worries like crazy. I should know, being a softie myself. I give her a quick peck on the cheek. “So sorry, Gram. I got caught up.”
Gram’s tail sways warily over her right shoulder. No shock, there. Every quasi-demon in Purgatory has a tail. Gram’s variety is long and black with an arrowhead-shaped end and a mind of its own. Currently, that mind totally suspects that I’m up to something.
Good suspicion, actually.
“What are you working on this time?” asks Gram. “Is it dangerous magic? Please tell me you’re being safe.”
“No, it’s not dangerous at all,” I say.
Which isn’t entirely true.
My cheeks redden with guilt, but I can’t exactly admit that I was up all night trying to track Void demons by casting spells with an enchanted canopic jar. It’s super-tricky stuff. I could’ve ended up with a Void demon in my living room, and I’m not what you call battle-hardy.
