Prologue - Remy Disappears

It's 1979 and the world is not what it seems. Evil creatures lurk in the shadows, unseen by most people, but feeding on their lust, lies, pride and greed.
And growing ever stronger.
Kate McDermott is Alete. She can see these creatures and kill them, but other dangers threaten her that she is not aware of. An unexpected meeting brings her face to face with her past, with a man who betrayed and discarded her without a backward glance. He threatens to turn her world upside down, destroying everything she values and revealing secrets she's been hiding, even from herself.
London was both refuge and prison to Kate, but now it might well be the death of her.
