If I thought I was out of my depth on Earth, I’m seriously out of my element now. Psychics are meant to know the future, right? I see and sense things that would freak the average person out, but I’m not ready to come face to face with an evil, cross-dimensional entity that threatens the entire known universe. Nor am I fully prepared to deal with the golden-skinned Captain Alastor Siris and his imposing, icy attitude. The Interspecies Council finally have a chance to end the tyrannical Reptile rule and fate rests on our shoulders. He’s trained for combat and reconnaissance, not for someone like me. I have seen the darkness in the worst of souls, and his is suffering. I just didn’t expect him to make me feel things I’d never expected to feel and the more time I’m forced to spend with him, the more my heart is at risk. He doesn’t know the darkness in my own soul. I can’t save him if I can’t save myself. I must ignore my attraction to him or else we won’t have a soul to save – nor will any other being in the universe. The entity has grown strong and is feeding. I must save billions of mind-enslaved before all is lost. Alastor is the fourth novel in the Hexonian series.

Book excerpt: Three hundred years ago, fate bound Prosper Redding and Prince Alastor of the Third Realm together. Now the human boy and fiend heir to the demon kingdom must put aside a centuries-old blood feud to save everything they love. Alastor will guide Prosper through the demon realm—under one huge condition: Prosper must enter into a contract with the malefactor residing in him, promising eternal servitude in the afterlife. With Prosper's sister in the clutches of the evil queen Pyra, Prosper has no choice but to agree. But when they arrive in Alastor's deliciously demonic home, the realm is almost as alien to Alastor as it is to Prosper—the lowest fiends have dethroned the ruling malefactors, while an unfathomable force called the Void is swiftly consuming the realm. The desperate fiends cling to the one person who says she can stop it: Pyra. As Prosper embarks on a perilous rescue mission to the Tower of No Return, he can't help but feel for the demons losing their home—even Alastor, who lives by a set of rules that have vanished in a new world. With the fates of humans and demons at odds, the battle lines are drawn. Long ago, Prosper's ancestor Honor Redding proved that humans and demons could never be friends. But is Prosper like his ancestor? And is Alastor the same demon who was betrayed by the one human he cared for?
