Chase the Dark
Synopsis
Piper Griffiths is a haemon — half human, half daemon — with no magical ability of her own, and one ambition: to become a Consul, one of the peacekeepers who mediate between humanity and the daemons of the Underworld and Overworld. That ambition collapses when thieves stage a murder spree at her Consulate and steal the Sahar Stone, a classified magical weapon, and Piper is framed for it.
Hunted by daemons and humans alike, she is left with two deeply untrustworthy allies: Lyre, a charming incubus with more beneath the surface than he admits, and Ash, a powerful draconian whose motives she cannot read. Together they run, while Piper begins to uncover the truth about the theft — and about herself.
Chase the Dark opens Annette Marie's Steel & Stone series, blending urban fantasy action, daemon politics and a slow-burn romance.
