[Demonsense 02] • Demon Master

Bree Jenkins has got a serious problem. She’s attracted the attention of a dangerous elder demon named Gelsenim, who considers her the perfect demon food. But she needs his help in fighting the Demon War that’s come to Seattle. Violent riots are breaking out all over town, egged on by demons who are possessing people in unprecedented numbers. And Bree needs Daniel Thorvaldson’s help in mastering Gelsenim. He’s an incredibly powerful magic user, a wonderful teacher, and he makes Bree weak in the knees every time she looks at him, but he becomes unstable with demon contact. With the riots increasing and spreading to other cities and the death toll rising, Bree and Daniel don’t have the luxury of avoiding demons.

Enter Leander Rayne, the gorgeous man who’s just moved to Seattle and claims to be ex-Keltoi. He’s clearly interested in Bree, and might be just the ticket to getting information on the plans of Marton Varga, a Keltoi leader who’s suspected of instigating the Demon War. Marton’s in town with Daniel’s ex Franchesca, who hasn’t given up her unhealthy obsession with Daniel. Both Marton and Franchesca are hoping to get their hands on a spell for hiding the forbidden talents of Demon Master and Binder that Daniel has developed. With it, the Keltoi will be able to secretly place powerful magic users with dangerous abilities in key political positions.

Bree finds herself at the nexus of all these players. Does she trust Leander, a man mysteriously immune to her Reader sense, who might still be a part of the Keltoi organized crime machine? Does she trust Daniel, who seems to be two different people, one principled and altruistic, one violent and unpredictable? Or does she trust Gelsenim, the demon who has perpetrated horrors for eons, but is becoming more human and more of an ally each time she allows him to possess her? Her choice will determine the course of the Demon War.
