Before long, Kate, Michael, and Emma are on a journey through time to dangerous and secret corners of the world . . . a journey of allies and enemies, of magic and mayhem.

Book Description
I thought I had a lot of questions before. Finding myself back in Besmet with the demon from my dreams, I'm finding it hard to deny the connection I feel toward him, despite the fact that he's certifiably insane. When did my life get so chaotic? My green magic isn't stable. My moods aren't stable. My ex isn't stable. Gran's not stable... oh who am I kidding? She's never been stable, so at least one of us is consistent. Luckily, I still have my guys; Cam, Fischer, Kai, and maybe Sloane. Honestly, I'm not sure that Sloane is capable of letting someone claim him, but he certainly makes my heart race. Secrets, lies, and prophecies are coming to light. Hopefully I put my trust in the right people because betrayal on it's own is terrible, but to be betrayed by those who swore to protect you? That would be devastating...

It ends on a cliffhanger and contains domestic violence including physical, mental, and sexual abuse and other themes that readers may find triggering. *This is the second book in a paranormal RH series.*
