Dot Alby was just a face in the crowd. A quiet woman with plain clothes, a factory job, and no record. Until the day she was arrested for a string of killings so calculated, so untraceable, that experts still don't know how she did it. But the real horror begins after her capture. As Dot sits silently in a cell, the murders continue-impossible, identical, and signed with her name. A doctrine begins to spread. Clean. Poetic. Unstoppable. It calls itself The Correction. Victims range from the powerful to the cruel to the seemingly ordinary. There's no pattern, no demands. Only one chilling promise: "You were never waiting for change. You were waiting for permission." As society begins to fracture under the weight of its own secrets, those who once sought justice are forced to confront a question more terrifying than guilt: What if she's right?

The prophecy he was raised for requires his sacrifice. The odds aren't on his side--and the Beasts coming from Hell have caught his scent. THE THIRD PRINCE of Hell Beelzebub has been hearing rumors.
