As Ruby is snatched away from Ravenshill prison, she ends up in more trouble than she thought possible. The truth has finally been revealed, yet it seems the wrong people are in charge of this information. As she fights for her freedom, her captors have other ideas and as she's forced into a plan, like a cog in a wheel, Ruby soon comes to realise who her true self is. Despite the disgust that comes with recognition, Ruby realises she must accept her true self if she has any hope of saving those she loves, and the entire world...

After saving a friend from the clutches of Lust, Ruby finds herself tried and sentenced for the crime of murder and is incarcerated in Ravenshill Prison. Seemingly abandoned by most of those she considers her friends, Ruby finds she has to adapt to her new surroundings quickly to avoid being walked all over. Yet even behind bars nobody is safe, and she finds herself wrapped up in another mystery as the women become targeted by something that could only be related to the demon world. As Ruby fights to save those in her new environment, she is also learning more about her past than she ever considered, that is until a figure from the not too distant past comes back to haunt her and steal her dad's journal...

Everything is back to normal. Well, as normal as it can be for Ruby Dawson. Adjusting to life in her new home would be a cinch if it wasn't for the fact that someone was snooping around looking for something. And the worst thing is the inkling that Ruby has about who sent this mysterious man... And not only that but Ruby finds herself getting wrapped up in the drama of St. Helen's, something she thought she'd left behind, but as the darkness unravels and the line between light and dark start to blur, she knows she cannot sit on the side lines and watch those she loves, be hurt.

Ruby is gifted something which will change her life forever. However, not everyone is supportive and as she battles her best friend in petty arguments, she fights to prevent losing any semblance of normalcy in her life. Time is ticking not only for her friendship, but her grasp on her life as a Hunter.

Ruby faces her biggest challenge yet when she's sent on an indefinite case with three other Hunters. Settled in with her role as a Hunter, Ruby embraces the newest request in a small country town. Things heat up as communication breaks down, and she finds herself dealing with far more than demons. Ruby's days are tied in with the community centre, but as she battles with the challenges that face her, leading to horror she could never have imagined, she also finds herself looking for more answers to questions that shouldn't have arisen.

Defying the laws of nature, Ruby Dawson is a Demon Hunter. Ruby is coming to terms with everything that at one time, seemed impossible. Surely life can't get any harder. Only it seems things are going from bad to worse as she begins to notice not only shadow demons, but other creatures that once were hidden. As she begins to embrace the gift of her genetics, it seems that the people in her life are not impervious to the effects of the darkness settling over Black Haven and she must figure it out before her friends are pulled into the shadows. Can Ruby stop the darkness and save those she loves before it's too late?

Following the death of her father four years ago, Ruby Dawson feels that life can't get any harder. Living in a care home for girls, struggling with the last two years of school and working part time at an employment agency seem almost too much at times. And then she sees the man with the crescent scar. He's a memory from her past and one that she knows will have answers. He's the last link to her dad. Ruby goes looking for answers but only ends up with more questions as everything she thought she knew was real is turned upside down and her own life becomes all too connected with a world she didn't know existed.
