Demon Revealed (High Demon #2)

(Reah, I know you're not happy with us right now, but we didn't order the firebombing. RAA moved without consulting us.)

(Reah, you're being disrespectful with a superior.) I didn't answer him. If he knew how disrespectful I wanted to be—I was staring at Xiri's bones, after all. I sobbed. (Reah? Reah, are you still there?)

The Drakus seed trade is threatening to destroy the Alliance as an old enemy reemerges. Reah is placed in the thick of that battle, with no experience and little help from her superiors. Unexpected betrayals and alliances are formed, and Reah must use every bit of her strength and wit to protect those she loves.
