Six sunrises. Six sunsets.
Six days. That’s how long October Winters has to collect and deliver a thousand souls.
After a year on the run, Lucifer’s right-hand-witch finds herself knee-deep in the tawdry trenches of Hollywood, seeking refuge in the neon-lit chaos to escape the consequences of her actions. But her immortality comes with a price, and the Devil has come to collect: one soul for every year she has taken breath. Anything less and she can kiss this world goodbye.
With monsters lurking around every corner, October finds herself in a high-stakes race against time. As the deadline looms, her past comes crashing back in the form of Declan Lovejoy, a demon hunter who is as formidable as he is handsome. Driven by his own vendetta against the forces of evil, Declan enlists her help in a covert mission, one that complicates her impossible task and may soil her reputation within the Underworld.
In a city where danger and desire intertwine, October faces the battle of a millennium to save her soul. Will she manage to outwit the Devil and reclaim her life, or will her forbidden love be her undoing?
