When the Clock Strikes Eighteen

The fortune was his father's gift. The debt is his to pay.

Daniel Ashford has grown up in privilege - heir to a sprawling estate, his father's fortune, and a life most could only dream of. But as his eighteenth birthday approaches, shadows gather around the edges of his carefully ordered world. His father grows distant. Clocks tick louder. And strangers seem to know his name.

When midnight strikes on the night of his celebration, something ancient awakens. A man steps from the dark - beautiful, dangerous, and far too familiar. His presence chills the air, his smile promises ruin, and he calls Daniel by name as though he's waited a lifetime to do so.

Soon, Daniel learns the truth: his father's success was no accident, but the price of a bargain made before he was born. A bargain that promised Daniel's soul - and his hand - to a demon when he came of age.

Now, as the walls between worlds begin to crack, Daniel must uncover the secrets his father has buried, resist the pull of the creature who claims him, and decide how far he'll go to escape the destiny written in blood and time.

When the clock strikes eighteen, the debt comes due.
