In a magic-filled city, Bryce Quinlan is left grieving after a demon murders her closest friends. When new killings begin despite a suspect being imprisoned, she becomes central to the investigation and is determined to find those responsible. She is paired with Hunt Athalar, a Fallen angel enslaved to the Archangels and used as an assassin, who is promised a path to freedom if he helps solve the case. Together they investigate the city's darker corners and uncover a dangerous power threatening those they care about, while a connection grows between them.
