The Lord of Misrule: Revelation (The Paranormal World, #2)
About
She escaped the party. She didn't escape the hunter.
Reporter Alessandra Donati thought the hard part was over. She got the story. She got out of Galvan's villa alive. She even left the supernatural in the rearview mirror—except for the claw marks on her back that refuse to stop burning.
Now she's stranded in Venice with no money, no passport, no ID, and a face on every news broadcast in Italy—wanted for a murder she watched someone else commit.
And the man who murdered Galvan isn't done with her.
Sebastian Assante is ancient, beautiful, and utterly certain of what Alex is: his. He's already inside her dreams, touching her in ways no one ever has, bending her will toward surrender through the thin silver thread of connection his claws left in her skin. He doesn't need to chase her through Venice's winter streets. He just has to wait while the mark does its work.
The Saturnalia festival is six days away. The Lord of Misrule needs his offering. And this year, Alex fits the role perfectly.
Her only allies are the Goodfellow twins—monster hunters with classified methods, classified motives, and a classified reason for being in Venice in the first place that has everything to do with her. Cody saved her life. Robin hacked her fitness app to buy her dry clothes. She still isn't sure she trusts either of them.
She has no phone. No backup. A carabinieri officer who tried to help her is floating in the Grand Canal with his throat cut.
The cult isn't playing at ancient ritual anymore. It's coming for her specifically.
Six days until the solstice. Six days to expose the Saturnalia before it consumes her.
If she can figure out which hunger to trust—the one warning her to run, or the one pulling her back toward Sebastian.
Revelation is book two of the five-part Lord of Misrule series—a steamy paranormal romance serial where every installment deepens the obsession, raises the body count, and drags the ancient world one step closer to the modern one.
