Too bad she's dating his brother's murderer.Certain that Calliope will be the killer's next victim, Knox makes it his mission to keep her safe. He soon realizes there's more to the talented artist than meets the eye. She's a vessel for slivers of ancient, powerful souls, and she doesn't even know it. Those shards have an agenda of their own, and they will use her—or destroy her—to get what they want.As she and Knox hunt for a killer, they learn that their two fates are inextricably bound, and if they can't find a way to control the power Calliope possesses, then the next gruesome murder she paints may be her own.
