Souls are at stake, demons are about to escape, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance in the third riproaring adventure in the Eli Monpress series. Disgraced, jealous, and vengeful, Berek Sted is a desperate man. Lured by the promise of reclaiming the power stripped from him, Sted offers more than is his right to give: the soul of another. He gets more than he bargained for. 'Witty, smart, snappy, sassy, fast, furious and let's not forget fun... Rachel Aaron isn't so much knocking at the door as kicking it down."-Tom Holt.
