Everyone is red on the inside. The destruction of the Dark Room has locked away the Eldest forever… or so it seems. The Boneyard discovers a bloodthirsty cult desperate to bring back the Old Ones, and Dustin Graves rescues the strangest of sacrifices: a Welsh corgi. Gods of legend covet the magical canine, and the Lorica gives chase, believing that Dustin’s heart still beats with the blood of shadows. But a second secret runs in his veins... a crimson contract, a pact sealed in blood, one that will draw terrifying enemies right to his doorstep. If you like snarky heroes, snappy dialogue, and a bit of grit and gore, you’ll love the seventh book in Nazri Noor’s series of urban fantasy novels.
