For her, it's her late grandma's legacy. For him, the mother of all black magic spoils, granting one demon the power of a God. Immortality.




When jaded Ruby falls victim to Demon Lord Drayvex's viperous allure, she loses a sentient dark relic to his light fingers and appetite for power. Like calls to like. But when Drayvex himself loses the relic to a traitor to the throne, Ruby coerces him -the tyrant king with a soft spot for humanity- into helping her save her pokey old world village from becoming a ground zero of mass demonic carnage.

Now, the fate of both human and demon alike rests with a killer that walks between worlds, and a woman with a curse in her bloodline.
