Synopsis

Half-human, half-demon, all attitude

Luther Cross here. Dangerously handsome, impeccably dressed, and the only cambion in Chicago with a conscience. Got a poltergeist tearing up your house, a demon that needs exorcising, or something nasty stalking you? I'm the guy you call. Just don't expect me to take the cheap jobs, or to keep my smart mouth shut while I work.

Then a scared girl slips past my doorman, shrugs off my wards, and turns up in my bedroom. Dakota Reed is pregnant, and not in any way a doctor would recognize. Mystic pregnancies are rare, dangerous, and almost always fatal to the mother. I know that better than anyone-it's the same way I came into this screwed-up world.

So this one's personal, and it gets worse. Someone is breeding an army, and the trail leads through blood-hungry feeders, a preacher with a little too much faith, and powers on both sides of the divide who'd love to see me dead. The people who brokered the armistice between Heaven and Hell want answers. The people who'd like to break it want Dakota. And before long, somebody upstairs puts a price on my head.

With a '69 Camaro, an enchanted revolver loaded with rounds that can hurt even the supernatural, and a vampire madam who knows exactly how to push my buttons, I've got one shot to keep Dakota alive and keep the peace. If I fail, the truce shatters, the Apocalypse comes early, and every soul on Earth gets caught in the crossfire.

No pressure. Just the end of the world. And I haven't even finished my cigarette.
