LIFE AFTER*" Part One Gunned down and left for dead on a New York rooftop* Alex Underwood's life should have ended there but instead* at the moment of death* she became host to the Witchblade* a mystical artifact that grants the woman wielding it extraordinary powers. But the power comes with a heavy cost* and Alex finds herself thrust into the center of an unseen battle raging on the snowy streets of NYC. Demons are real and walking among humans* and every one of them is intent on taking out the Witchblade's newest host before she becomes too strong to kill. But the artifact chose Alex for a reason* and she's not going down without a fight.
