In a city of daimons, rigid class lines separate the
powerful from the power-hungry. And at the heart of The City is the
Carnival of Souls, where both murder and pleasure are offered up for

allows every daimon a chance to join the ruling elite. Without the
competition, Aya and Kaleb would both face bleak futures–if for
different reasons. For each of them, fighting to the death is the only
way to try to live.
All Mallory knows of The City is that her father–and every other

typical teenage life full of friends and maybe even a little romance,
Mallory scans quiet streets for threats, hides herself away, and trains
to be lethal. She knows it’s only a matter of time until a daimon finds
her and her father, so she readies herself for the inevitable. While
Mallory possesses little knowledge of The City, every inhabitant of The
City knows of her. There are plans for Mallory, and soon she, too, will
be drawn into the decadence and danger that is the Carnival of Souls.
