In her battle against demon assassins, Ella Grey pulled too much power and it nearly killed her. To save lots of her, Damien and Deb had to cut Ella faraway from her magic. Eager to save her brother from the vampires but powerless to greatly help him, Ella must discover a way to regulate the reaper that’s almost gnawed through her soul and obtain her magic back. When madman and necromancer Phillip Zarella presents her a solution, it’s too luring to pass up. But making a deal with the devil constantly has outcomes. And even worse, Ella discovers that her brother is the reward inside a tug-of-war between Zarella, tycoon Jacob Gregori, and the all-powerful mages. She needs every benefit she can scrape collectively, or she’ll shed her brother permanently.
