The Infernal Games

Xlina just wants to live a normal life—as far as that’s possible for a dream-eater with ties to the Otherworld. But she isn’t content to just consume the dreams of others. She struggles to prevent horrible nightmares from becoming reality, battling monsters and drawing the attention of malevolent forces.

Due to an impossible choice, she becomes marked and bound by a demon and struggles to keep from forfeiting her soul. The demon is collecting people with special talents for her master to be used in a cold war-like game of living chess against a rival demon. In an instant, Xlina is swept into a brutal conflict between the warring demonic entities.

Her journey leads her to meet Oxivius Soulforge, a necromancer exiled to the Otherworld. Oxivius is a kindred spirit who seeks to help her embrace the magical nature of her life and free her from the demon’s mark. With her life torn asunder and under constant threat, Oxivius guides her into embracing her magical heritage and forces her to rethink her preconceived notions of good and evil. To protect her newfound allies and survive the infernal game, Xlina must comply with her demon’s demands. But each step she takes adds yet another black stain to her soul…
