Synopsis

The Crew

A hulked-out wrath demon who eats gamer rage and loves cats, a shapeshifting lust demon who enjoys their food a bit too much, and a void demon who doesn't see the point of any of this. They're not the sort of mercenaries you hire on purpose, but Bex wouldn't trust her life to anyone else.

Ever since the ancient Mesopotamian king Gilgamesh decided death wasn't for him, killed the gods, and conquered the afterlife, times have been rough for a free demon. But the denizens of the Nine Hells aren't the quitting sort, and Bex and her team have been choking a living out of the Eternal King's lackeys for years. It's not honest work, but when Heaven itself declares you a non-person, you smash-and-grab what you can get.

This next gig looks like more of the same...until Bex meets the client.

The Job

Adrian Blackwood is a witch with a problem. His family has skirted the edges of King Gilgamesh's ire for centuries, but thanks to a decision he made as a child, Adrian is personally responsible for putting his entire coven in Heaven's crosshairs.

Determined to set things right, Adrian drags his broom, caldron, and talking cat thousands of miles across the country to Seattle where he can fight the Eternal King's warlocks without bringing the rest of his family into the fray. But witchcraft--like all crafts--takes time, and if the warlocks catch him before his spells are ready, he's dead. So Adrian does what any professional witch would do and hires a team of mercenaries to keep the warlocks off his back.

He didn't expect to get demons, but when you're already on the killing-edge of Heaven's bad side, what's a bit more fuel on the fire?

Sometimes, you get more than you paid for.

Neither Adrian nor Bex knew what to expect when they signed their contract, but witch-plus-demon turns out to be a match made in the Hells. With this much chaos at their fingertips, even impossible dreams start to come back into reach, because Bex wasn't always a mercenary. She used to be the Eternal King of Heaven's biggest nightmare, and now that she's got a witch in her corner, it's time to put the old magics back on the field and show Adrian Blackwood just how much hell he's hired.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

My name is Rachel Aaron, author of Nice Dragons Finish Last, the best-selling writing productivity book 2k to 10k, and The Legend of Eli Monpress, published by Orbit Books. I'm also the author of Fortune's Pawn, the first book in the rollicking fun Paradox Science Fiction trilogy under the name Rachel Bach. Confused yet? I know I am! I was born and raised in Atlanta, but I currently live a lovely, nerdy, bookish life in Colorado with my faster-than-the-speed-of-light son and perpetually understanding husband. I write full time, all the time, but when my family can drag me away from my own books, I love reading fantasy (urban and traditional), Romance (paranormal and Regency), and Science Fiction (all kinds). I also enjoy video games, Minecraft, anime, manga, hanging out at conventions, and overdone, epic things. Other than my fiction, the internet knows me best for writing very fast. The best way to get to know me is to read my books or follow me on Twitter (@Rachel_Aaron)
