He died a human. He’ll come back as something more.

Daniel wakes up in Purgatory with no memory of how he got there. Lost and alone, things look pretty grim until he finds Chaol—a kalmach demon with an agenda of his own. Chaol offers to help Daniel do the unthinkable: walk through Hell to make the transformation into a demon.

Chaol wants to get to Earth for one reason. Revenge. He didn’t plan on backtracking through Hell with a shiny, good soul, but something about Daniel intrigues him. He would’ve offered to help even if he didn’t have his own reasons to get back to the surface. The longer he spends with Daniel, the more he starts to think he might be compromised. Vengeance doesn’t seem so appealing when it means turning Daniel against him.

The road home is more dangerous than ever. Daniel sets out to become a demon, but with new threats on the horizon, he gets far more than he bargains for. He’ll have to become something unimaginable to protect the ones he loves, including the demon he never planned to fall for.

He’s a warrior for the light. But he belongs in the dark.

Nicolas Garcia is a paladin without a purpose. He slogs through each day wondering whether he’s doing the right thing. Captain of a squad who hates him and brother to a man who’s shunned by the guild, he barely recognizes the guild that raised him.

Ashmedai is a sin eater. A monster. He’s never wanted more than the hunt, but a chance encounter with a holy warrior leaves him reeling. He’s never felt like this before, and all he knows for certain is that Nicolas belongs to him. And he’ll do anything to have him.

The sin eater has been hunting paladins for weeks. Nicolas shouldn’t want him, but he craves Ashmedai in a way that isn’t rational. When he has to infiltrate the corrupt leadership of the guild to help innocents caught in the crossfire, it jeopardizes everything between them. Can a paladin really belong to a monster who thrives in the dark?
