Ellyria and Zangrunath get out from under Section Seven's thumb, and for the first time in years, things look up for the witch. Between her budding romance with the demon and her new college life, she's never been happier, except for the looming loss of the demon once their deal ends. The constant reminders add up, and she fears what will happen once she's left all alone again.


When an unexpected twist of fate leaves Ellyria disfigured and in agony, the pair seek assistance from the only ally who might know how to help. Lucifer himself has no obligations to assist them, except for his own hidden agendas. He could crush them both with a thought, but if they convince him otherwise, they'll owe the Devil himself a favor unlike anything the world has ever seen before. By comparison, the feat would make their struggles with blackmail, politics, and misogyny look like child's play.
