Preternatural Affairs, Books 4-7: Shadow Burns, Deadly Wrong, Ashes and Arsenic, Once Darkness Falls (The Descentverse Collections) / The Descentverse Collections (ePub)

Cèsar Hawke's job with the OPA is maturing into a job that involves a suspicious number of dead bodies. From steamy Los Angeles to post-apocalyptic Reno, Cèsar's getting deeper into preternatural trouble by the moment.

A collection of four New York Times bestselling author SM Reine's books. Included are Shadow Burns, Deadly Wrong, Ashes and Arsenic, and Once Darkness Falls.

ABOUT SHADOW BURNS

When more than a dozen people die at a retirement home, the official story is carbon monoxide poisoning. Cèsar Hawke is convinced the reason is less mundane and more infernal. But that's his job. As an agent working for the Office of Preternatural Affairs, he's always looking for supernatural answers to deadly questions.

Isobel Stonecrow agrees to help him find the truth. With her powers of necrocognition, she can speak to the dead and get the real story.

But when they return to the crime scene, they find a lot more than cadavers. They find a nightmare that they can't escape-a nightmare from Isobel's past, which even she can't completely remember thanks to the contract that signed away her soul.

Cèsar will have to disinter Isobel's secrets to save her. He'll learn who Isobel used to be, what she's done, and the price she paid…no matter how deadly the knowledge might be.

ABOUT DEADLY WRONG

Isobel Stonecrow's life has an expiration date: One month, two weeks, four days, and six hours remaining.

Not that she's counting.

When she signed a contract giving her soul and memories to a demon named Ander, she didn't expect that she would ever have to face termination. But now Ander is dead and she'll be following suit if she can't find a way to dissolve the deal.

Too bad she can't remember anything from the time before she signed the contract.

Fritz Friederling, a billionaire demon hunter who owns several businesses in Hell, isn't ready to give up on Isobel. But she isn't sure that working with Fritz is better than dying. She doesn't know much about her past life, but she knows that she signed Ander's contract for a reason-and that getting away from Fritz was a significant part of it.

Escaping her contract means remembering the life that she chose to forget. And it means trusting Fritz Friederling, who Isobel fears might be the biggest danger of all…

ABOUT ASHES AND ARSENIC

Agent Cèsar Hawke is in his element when he's investigating magical crime. And with his boss out of town, Cèsar gets to pick which cases he works on. He's bent on doing nothing involving demons, zombies, or fallen angels this time. Instead, he's going to find the witch who used magic to rob a bank.

Easy stuff. Cèsar plans to catch the perp before his boss gets home.

But when he digs into the robbery, he finds much more than missing money. He also finds a deadly turf battle between two covens and a trail of bloody violence.

A trail that leads directly to his brother, Domingo Hawke.

Domingo wants Cèsar's help taking down his enemies. Forget that Cèsar works for the Office of Preternatural Affairs, forget allegiances, forget pesky "contracts" and "conduct." Domingo is calling in a favor and the Hawke family is too tight to refuse.

Blood is the most powerful ingredient in any witch's spell, after all…

ABOUT ONCE DARKNESS FALLS

The worst case scenario has happened: Reno NV has fallen to demons.

Someone at the Office of Preternatural Affairs fucked up.

As the lead of a secret internal investigations team, Agent Cesar Hawke needs to discover who is responsible.

And then he needs to kill them.
