What this book is about

Maddox, one of the immortal Lords of the Underworld, carries the demon of Violence inside him. He doesn't kill by choice—he kills because the demon makes him. When a human woman named Ashlyn appears at the fortress, drawn by the voices she hears wherever violence occurred, both of their lives change. The Darkest Night launches one of paranormal romance's most beloved ongoing series.
