After using her devil Jack to kill many members of the ruling class she finds herself in love with the very person who tried to sacrifice her. And unbeknownst to her, her vengeance has freed many devils from their masters. Those devils are now free to roam the earth and do what they will. Now Evan must decide what comes next. Freeing devils has weakened the veil between humanity and devils, and to kill any more peoplewould bring the whole world to ruin. She cannot stop her devil alone so when Jack?s old flame Rhys catches wind of her plans, he steps in to help her. Rhys knows that Jack craves chaos more than anything, and to restore balance between their worlds, Jack must die. With the help of their allies, Evan and Rhys must find a way to restore the veil between their worlds, end the system of sacrifices forever, and kill Jack before he can destroy them all.
I sucked in the last breath I would ever call my own and sealed my contract with one word: “revenge.”
Born into the persecuted Magi class, Evan Wilde keeps her true identity under wraps. Her days are spent drawing up simple contracts—a task Magi are banned from performing—which call devils from beyond the veil to carry out clients’ requests in exchange for a bit of blood or breath. It’s not until Evan lies dying in an alley, the victim of an illegal blood sacrifice, that she draws a contract for herself. A devil can take the last of her life—if it grants her revenge.
Such a hasty, open-ended contract can only lead to trouble. But when a devil named Jack accepts her terms, Evan decides to make the most of her borrowed time. With Jack’s help, she infiltrates high society, posing as part of the ruling Necro class—the group responsible for oppressing Magi and perpetuating illegal blood sacrifices. Dining and dancing by day, unleashing her devil at night . . . for the first time in her life, Evan no longer lives in fear. She even finds friends—and love—within the circles of her supposed enemy.
