First Plane (Hayle Coven 10)

Welcome to Demonicon

“I
am Pagomaris, first aide to Ruler. I’m thrilled to have you both here.
It’s my responsibility to ensure you are presentable for the parade.”

Presentable? Parade?

“Everyone
is so excited to meet you.” She turned and clapped, a pair of young
female demons dressed more simply than her scurrying forward with
armloads of what appeared to be cosmetics, jewelry and the most
elaborate clothing I’d ever seen. “Shall we begin?”

I’m not
normally a stubborn person. Okay, stop laughing. But something about
the woman’s attitude ramped me up to dig in my heels so hard I expected
the stone floor to split under me.

“No,” I said.

Syd
is home for a well-deserved Christmas break and the whole family has
gathered for a happy holiday. But when Harry shows up to tell his
daughters their paternal grandmother wants to meet them, Syd and Meira
eagerly leave for the demon plane with a mix of excitement and nerves.
Their long-delayed family reunion is really a disguise for political
games that put both of their lives at risk, forcing the Hayle sisters to
fight for the status they’ve been granted by the woman who Rules
everything, and wants what she can’t have—Syd.
