I was right about the sorcery, but wrong about everything else. n n Rule two: Dont listen to the demon. n n My uncle chose a far deadlier power. He calls creatures of darkness into our world, binds them into service contracts, and sells them to the highest bidder. And Im supposed to act like I dont know how illegal and dangerous it is. n n Rule three: Dont talk to the demon. n n All I had to do was keep my nose out of it. Pretend I didnt find the summoning circle in the basement. Pretend I didnt notice the shadowy being trapped inside it. Pretend I didnt break the rules. n n But I did, and now its too late. n n -- n From the author of Three Mages and a Margarita comes a new series that will plunge an unprepared young woman into the darkest magic of the mythic world.n
