Rise of the Sphinx - La série

When you’re scared and alone, you’ll accept even the devil’s hand if only to know where he is in the darkness. Like parenting isn’t hard enough, let’s throw in a budding sociopath that an entire world I never knew existed is after for her power. The secrets my late husband took to his grave have come back to haunt us with a vengeance, setting the small shred of peace we’ve finally managed to find on fire. I never expected the threats I would have to shield her from. Magic, monsters, and people that will stop at nothing to use her power for their own. Enter Cain, Seros, and Ryker; three men sent to eliminate those that threaten the exposure of their world, and my resident stalkers. If I want any shot of the two of us making it out of this alive, I have to bet everything on the men that already have one woman’s blood on their hands. Will they be enough to not only shield us from the threats of their world and ours, but the ones awakening in the shadows?

“Not all heroes wear capes, some just wear their masks better than others. We pretend to be ok so that other people don’t have to suffer like we do.” The journey through the Underworld is brutal and unforgiving. Nightmares come to life, taking everything that I thought I knew and tearing it apart. And when every revolution comes hand in hand with a betrayal, I’m not sure how many more I can endure. The family my daughter and I have found in this hell isn’t what I expected, but they’re everything we didn’t realize we needed. With so much working against us, we’re going to need to set our morals aside for the sake of survival, and there’s no better group of people than these demons to help burn away what remains of our humanity. When every truth is obscured, what choice is left but to raze everything to the ground and build our future on the ashes?

Nearly being murdered has been the highlight of my day. They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, but the path to redemption is far more winding. And honestly? I’m getting sick of the twists the Fates have lined mine with. Life doesn’t freely give out happy endings and poetic justice though, you have to fight for them. And even then, sometimes things just don’t work out the way you want them to. At the mercy of someone twisted with obsession, I need to find a way to fix everyone else's mess without losing myself completely in order to survive. They put their faith in a Sin, and I can't even bring myself to laugh at the irony. Running out of time, I have one chance to pull this off and pray that for once I’m enough. That the pieces of my soul I’ve sacrificed will be worth it in the end. and that amongst the ashes, something better will rise; Sphinx be damned.
