I dreamed of my demon long before I met him. It's just a shame the dream turned out to be a lie.

Everything about Dremen Academy has turned out to be a lie. My childhood best friend is a traitor asshole; my bonded demon, Mikael, couldn't give less of a shit if I live or die; and now I'm locked up in some evil spell that wants to kill me. The chosen method of death? Trapping me in dreams and nightmares, like I chased a white rabbit down one too many rabbit holes.

Everyone wants something from me.

They all want me to break down.

Sorry to disappoint, but breaking down isn't in my vocabulary. I'm going to haul my ass out of this mess with or without help. The only question is: will I do it like a witch, or will the hidden power that lies dormant in my veins win the fight?

Just like everyone else, this power wants something from me. Desire. Dreams. Mikael. But maybe it knows something I don't, because Mikael has begun to look at me like he dreams of me, too. If this power is what I think it is, it would know.

The succubus in me has been asleep for a long time. I think she's finally waking up.
