I made a deal with the devil. And there's going to be hell to pay. My troubles haven't ended with the school year.

I'm alive. I'm out of the Hells. I've become one of the most powerful people in mage society overnight. Also, it's summer break.

But there's no rest for the wicked.

I witnessed dark magic and darker crimes in the Hells. Now, I stand with allies I struggle to forgive, against a mortal enemy who once held my heart in his hands.

Powerful men want to make me a pawn in their unhinged games, to be used or sacrificed at their whim. They can try. My boyfriends and I will carve our own path through mage society, whatever it takes.

I have innocent people to protect. Vengeance to take. And bloodstained secrets to unearth . . .
