Ember finally knows what she is. Becoming the Zodian Warrior was supposed to bring answers. Instead, it cost her the one thing she wanted most-her father's acceptance. When he stops returning her calls, Ember is left questioning whether power will ever be enough to make him see her as family again. Then Luke disappears. His vanishing is tied to a rising threat known as the Scarlet Cross-a ruthless force determined to claim Ember's power and plunge the supernatural world into chaos. Vampires are no longer hiding. Demons are choosing sides. And every secret Ember uncovers brings her closer to a destiny she never asked for. A prophecy claims she can end the chaos. But fulfilling it may cost her the people she loves-and force her to become something she may never escape. The Scarlet Cross is the dark, action-driven second book in the Chaos Curse series, where power demands sacrifice, loyalty is tested, and destiny is anything but kind.
