City is the Carnival of Souls, where both murder and pleasure are offered up for sale. Once in a generation, the carnival hosts a deadly competition that 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 witch there--fled it for a life in exile in the human world.

She knows it's only a matter of time until a daimon finds her and her father, so she readies herself for the inevitable.

There are plans for Mallory, and soon she, too, will be drawn into the decadence and danger that is the Carnival of Souls.
