Malkom Slaine is the stuff of nightmares. A demon poisoned by vampire blood, he's the kind of monster that make other monsters shiver in their sleep...and few who crossed his path ever lived to tell about it. Carrow Graie is a witch on a mission, blackmailed by the Order to lure Malkom into their trap. She's no match for his raw power, but does have other talents, and her feminine wiles soon have him eating from the palm of her hand...almost literally. Trouble is, as she gets to know him, she realizes that he's not the monster she thought. In fact, he's actually pretty hot! But what of her mission? As Kresley Cole's Demon from the Dark unfolds, will Carrow have the strength to betray Malkom, when all she wants is to soothe his pain?
