FIERY EDGE
OF STEEL
Lucifer
and his army triumphed at Armageddon, leaving humans and demons living in
uncertain peace based on sacrifice and strict laws. It is up to those with
mixed demon and human blood, the Host, to prevent society from falling into
anarchy.
Noon Onyx is the first female Host in memory to wield the
destructive waning magic that is used to maintain order among the demons. Her
unique abilities, paired with a lack of control and reluctance to kill, have
branded her as an outsider from her peers. Only her powerful lover, Ari
Carmine, and a roguish and mysterious Angel, Rafe Sinclair, support her
unconventional ways.
When Noon is shipped off to a remote outpost to investigate
several unusual disappearances, a task which will most likely involve
trying and killing the patron demon of that area, it seems Luck is not on her
side. But when the outpost settlers claim that an ancient and evil foe has
stepped out of legend to commit the crimes, Noon realizes that she could be facing
something much worse than she ever imagined…

Book Description:
Armageddon is over. The demons won. And yet somehow…the world has continued. Survivors worship patron demons under a draconian system of tributes and rules. These laws keep the demons from warring among themselves, the world from slipping back into chaos.
Noon Onyx grew up on the banks of the river Lethe, daughter of a prominent politician, and a descendant of Lucifer’s warlords. Noon has a secret—she was born with waning magic, the dark, destructive, fiery power that is used to control demons and maintain the delicate peace among them. But a woman with waning magic is unheard of and some will consider her an abomination.
Noon is summoned to attend St. Lucifer’s, a school of demon law. She must decide whether to declare her powers there…or attempt to continue hiding them, knowing the price for doing so may be death. And once she meets the forbiddingly powerful Ari Carmine—who suspects Noon is harboring magic as deadly as his own—Noon realizes there may be more at stake than just her life.
