The four Caruthers sisters are heiresses with privilege, wealth, beauty and brains. But these party girls have something extra as well. As the Guardian Keys, possessors of an ancient family secret, they also hold the fate of the world in their handsβbetween cocktails.
Gallery owner Gillian Caruthers is a sensation in the art worldβin this world that is. In her other world sheβs called the Assassin, a real knockout with an affinity for snuffing out dimension-jumpers who foul up her personal space. She never expected to join forces with one. But when a plague of murderous demons plunge the earth in darkness, she has no choice but to get a little help from a being who knows his stuff.
Arath the Demon King isnβt quite the scaly thing she expected. In fact, heβs kind of hotβand a bit of an enigma if his strange past is any indication. In solving that riddle, as well as the cause for the sudden influx of mystical creatures on Earth, Gillian may just have to force herself to work closer to Arath than she anticipated. And somewhere between the light and the darkness they might discover they have more in common than they imaginedβ¦
