Eli Hawke just can't catch a break. He's fought rival sorcerers, mystical beings, and even a possessed priestess intent on making him her new mate. Now a rival from his previous life has shown up. Friend or foe, Duncan Porter is a dangerous magick user with dark ties to Eli's past and possibly the cause of his past self's death. However, Porter's sudden arrival in Ravenwood isn't Eli's only problem. The Chaos demon he thought he vanquished when he defeated Dominique has returned and is intent on making Eli its new host.

Cursed with horrific memories and visions from his childhood, Eli now has to face his past while struggling against the demon's attempts to take possession of his very body and soul. He can only rely on himself to defeat Chaos and save his friends from a warlock determined to rule the magickal world. If not, the world will fall into darkness, one city at a time...
