This Silent City

As the fallout from Xavier Raske's crimes spreads through the Capital, alliances fracture-and the Devil of Eastgate tightens his grip on the city.

Demetrius Raske wrestles with the damning secret that his own uncle murdered dozens, challenging his faith in the League, his family, and even himself. Desperate to redeem his family name, Demetrius throws himself into the fight for peace between humans and vampires. But an increasingly hostile Senate threatens that dream. Xavier Raske must be brought to justice, but he's vanished into the shadows. Fortunately, Demetrius knows the Devil who owns every dark corner in the city's underworld.

Hades Cronus, the cursed gangster who runs the city's largest crime syndicate, has problems of his own. His involvement in League affairs has attracted the attention of rival ganglords. Hades must decide where he belongs: as a clandestine official or as an Eastgate kingpin. A growing attachment to his protégé Gabriella Rose only complicates matters. 

Gabriella's growing mastery of her newfound powers has ignited her thirst for revenge. That hunger twists into a dark fascination with the gangster sworn to protect her. She senses that Hades possesses answers about her parents, Xavier, and the League's darkest secrets-answers she's determined to pry from his defenses. But Hades Cronus is running his own con, one with consequences none of them can predict.

By winter's end, the Capital will discover the cost of trusting the Devil.
