With a fatal bullet in her gut, Celina Leviet has only seconds to decide: join her murdered husband in death, or make a deal with a demon. In exchange for her soul, Mekaisto will let her live long enough to wreak revenge—if she agrees to kill the murderers with her own hands.

But there’s little time for tender reconciliation. Demons are being murdered, their mutilated bodies marked with cryptic threats. The key to saving the dark realm lies in her shrouded history, but a diabolical angel could lead to their destruction.
