My eyes widen. “So if you don’t do anything for a year, you just die?”

He starts that cocky smile again, rubbing a hand over his lips to hide it. “No, not ‘just die.’ Your existence is erased. It’ll be like you were never there.”

Book cover for The Dark Temptation by S.R. Dawn. Sharp lines and flat colors show long red hair that silhouettes black horns at the bottom of the cover. Overlaying the hair and horns are six gold circles, each with a different design. At the top and going clockwise is flames, light beams, thorns, swirling dashed lines, broken pieces of circle, and vertical lines like rainfall.
