Chasing the Demon: No. 2 (Gateway Series)

The system has been changing; the Agency flaunts its cruel practices and the balance of the realms has been disrupted. Ethans enforcers are already stretched to the limits and things get worse when alliances are forged between the worst of the demon realms. Meanwhile on Empustat Carolyn has spent an entire year being reconditioned - her memories being wiped and replaced in order to produce a limited and vapid princess. Under the constraints of the Chief she is no longer the feared and mythical destroyer Carolyns life of privilege is marred only by the expectations held for her to marry Peter and produce heirs for the realm. Her friend Mario in contrast has suffered hardship and humiliation at the hands of the Lilim guard - and a chance encounter will spur Carolyns awakening. The disabled gateway has frustrated the teams efforts to reach Carolyn and Ethan and Note can barely tolerate each other but both mage and demon share the same goals. Hope by way of an unexpected source leads to the team embarking on a plan so daring that their survival hangs in the balance. With old and new friends from the realms the fight for order continues.
