Sacrifice
(Pretty Dark
Nothing #2)

It’s been five weeks, two days, and eight hours since the demons
forced Quinn to throw herself into the raging river, since Aaron sacrificed
himself to save her, since his body disappeared without a trace.
Everyone wants Quinn to move on, but she can’t, not after a
spirit appears to her at Aaron's memorial, convincing her he’s still alive.
When a mysterious box materializes on the very spot Aaron
disappeared, Quinn finds she’s at the center of an ancient prophesy of
betrayal, revenge, and sacrifice that takes her to the depths of the underworld
to face Lilith—Adam’s first wife.
If Quinn can stop Lilith from unleashing the demon horde Eve,
trapped inside the box during the Battle of Eden millennia ago, she will save
the human realm and free Aaron from an eternity in torment.
All it will cost is her blood.

A silver steed, legs
enveloped by smoke, raced across the bleak landscape of the Underworld. On it,
a woman, cloaked in shadow dragged a body behind her.
Quinn’s heart hammered
against her ribs, and she tried to calm herself with three deep breaths. Aaron,
encased in a cocoon of spider webs, thrashed and kicked, the burnished feathers
of his wings pushing against his bonds as his body was trailed across sharp
rocks.
I swear, if you hurt him, I will kill you. Do
you hear me, Lilith? I will fucking kill you if you so much as scratch him.
Laughter echoed across the
veil. You dare threaten me? Bring the box
to me before the eclipse, and I might let you live. As for the boy? His fate is
in your hands, Eol Ananael, as his blood is on the hands of your Sentinel.
Remind me to thank Azrael for his little gift.
Quinn swallowed, fighting
not to take the bait. Lilith first, then she would deal with Azrael. Putting
questions about her Sentinel out of her mind, Quinn focused on the task at
hand: to release a killing wish and end Lilith’s life once and for all.
A few more feet, and Lilith
would be at the border, close enough for Quinn’s power to reach. Lilith skidded
to a stop before the wall of fog, her horse rearing under her command. Silver
eyes, so cold they made her gasp, locked on Quinn’s and wouldn’t let go. It was
now or never.
Power surged from the pit
of Quinn’s stomach, hot and angry, but before Quinn could release it, a
shockwave of energy rocked her mind, casting her out of the seam and thrusting
her back into reality. Colors swirled to life as time resumed, and she was back
in her body, arm outstretched, Aaron’s name on her lips.
