Once you check into the Night Hotel, you might never check out . . . A supernatural thriller of otherworldly action and adventure. A stranger on earth and a refugee from a twisted Sideways world, Damon slowly builds a life in Brooklyn with his only friends, Thom and Sarah.

Despite his bitter childhood, Damon is determined to forget and become worthy of Sarah’s love and Thom’s friendship. When his new life is threatened by an Inquisition of human wizards who are convinced Damon is the same Mad God once responsible for the Dark Ages, he is forced to use the sorcery of the Sideways to protect it and his friends. But each time he uses the addictive magic of his home, he loses a little more of his hard-won humanity. And he must figure out a way to save them all before he turns into the monster the wizards believe him to be . . .
