Mornings are a bitch, especially when you don't know what your demonic alter-ego has been up to the night before. Throw in a suspected kidnapping, and Laec Matthews' life is about to go off the rails in ways even he couldn't have imagined.

First came the strangers outside his door, accusing him of knowing something about a young girl's disappearance. Unsure if he's involved, he lets himself get drawn into a search that's more than what it seems. When he's ambushed by a couple of well-armed mercenaries, left at the mercy of a sadistic troll, and gets thrown into a fighting ring with three pissed off hellhounds, it's enough to make a guy wonder if he should have listened to his screaming instincts and stayed in bed.

Who is this girl everyone is looking for, what's her connection to him, and is it worth the price he may have to pay to find her?
