The devil was finally hers. But someone is trying to make the underworld believe that Kira Cain isn’t Shadow. They’d even used her scorpion venom to try to take her devil away and poisoned Damien Chaos – her fiancé. The queen’s role is to protect the king, and she’d managed to fail spectacularly that night. Because Dante Chaos shouldn’t have been able to trick her. Her . Kira should have been five steps ahead of him, but someone was pulling his strings – someone who could make an almost perfect replica of her signature poison. This copycat had made their opening move and now it was Kira’s turn. Except Damien is going to leave her behind, to protect her. Her demon prince needs to learn he can’t rule without her. The king doesn’t live long without his queen, and she refuses to let the fiends of the underworld converge on him and do nothing to stop it. Playing defense has never really been her style. This new enemy was going to learn just how deadly a scorpion could be when threatened.
