Silver smoke winds around my torso, peeling away from my
ribs and back, stealing the dark mist covering my hands
and lower extremities . . . tattoos dissolving into demon
flesh, coalescing into small dark bodies. My boys. The
only friends I have in this world. Demons.
I am a demon hunter. I am a demon. I am Hunter Kiss.
By day, her tattoos are her armor. By night, they unwind
from her body to take on forms of their own. Demons of the
flesh, turned into flesh. This is the only family demon
hunter Maxine Kiss has ever known. The only way to live-
and the very way she'll die. For one day, her demons will
abandon her for her daughter to assure their own survival-
leaving Maxine helpless against her enemies.
But such is the way of Earth's last protector-the only one
standing between humanity and the demons breaking out from
behind the prison veils. It is a life lacking in love,
reveling in death, until one moment-and one man-changes
everything . . .
