Kane's raging beast thrives in the cage.

Malin thirsts for revenge.

Technical knockouts are MMA fighter Kane Macleod's trademark move. His match tonight proved that point again. He has two more fights, then he'll leave the cage for good. But first, he needs to see that his mother and sister are set for life.

After the big fight, Kane's on his way to the club to celebrate when a fight in a dark alley stops him in his tracks. The night obscures four fighters except for smoke and bright flashes, and no matter how many times he blinks, he can't comprehend what's happening. Magic? The small woman holds her own, but he can't leave her at the mercy of three huge attackers. What if that was his sister?

Malin has one purpose: destroy the beast who killed her sister. Every night, she enters the daylight realm to hunt. She walks among the humans unseen, searches for the slime who betrayed her, and slips back into Darkness before the Light. Her mother and her friends beg her to accept her sacred duty to their coven. But Malin carries the burden of Myla's death, and until she slays Godric, everything else can wait.

They're both fighting their own versions of Darkness. But how can they deny themselves when Darkness itself keeps throwing them together?
