The heat is on, and a new threat to humanity has risen . . .
Nick has his driver's license and he's not afraid to use it. But turning
sixteen isn't what he thought it would be. While other boys his age are
worried about prom dates and applying for college, Nick is neck deep in
enemies out to stop him from living another day. No longer sure if he
can trust anyone, his only ally seems to be the one person he's been
told will ultimately kill him.
But life spent serving the undead is anything except ordinary. And those
out to get him have summoned an ancient force so powerful even the gods
fear it. As Nick learns to command and control the elements, the one he
must master in order to combat his latest foe is the one most likely to
destroy him. As the old proverb goes, fire knows nothing of mercy, and
if Nick is to survive this latest round, he will have to sacrifice a
part of himself. However, the best sacrifice is seldom the sanest move.
Sometimes it's the one that leaves your enemies confused.
And sometimes, you have to trust your enemy to save your friends. But
what do you do when that enemy is you?
Inferno is the fourth book in Sherrilyn Kenyon's Chronicles of Nick.
