Cate Rose, the Dark Queen of Hell, has never hesitated to make hard decisions.
But this time, the betrayal comes from someone she raised to stand beside her.

Devin Black—her fellow heir, her ally, her equal—has gone behind her back to seize power on Earth. His ambitions stretch far beyond the Crimson Brotherhood he leads, and the lengths he’s taken to get what he wants leave Cate questioning everything she believed about him.

To decide his fate, Cate must return to the moment it all began.

Years earlier, on Earth, a human woman carried a secret Devin and his ruthless brotherhood were desperate to uncover. Her life was shattered the moment Corey Black set his sights on her, using manipulation, charm and cruelty to drag her into the heart of their dark agenda.

Now Cate steps back into the shadows of that past, determined to understand the truth behind the Brotherhood, its rise, and the cracks forming within it. What she discovers will change not only Devin’s future… but the future of Hell, Heaven and every throne balanced between them.

Old sins are rising. Old powers are stirring.
And the cost of balance may demand far more than anyone is ready to pay.

Enter the darkest chapter of the Black Rose series—where loyalty breaks, secrets rot, and even the Devil must reckon with the truth.
