And the twist at the end has me craving book two!” ~ Susan Kaye Quinn (OPEN MINDS) *** Sixteen-year old Desolation Black wants nothing more than to stay in Hell where it’s cold and lonely and totally predictable.

When Desi is forced to embrace her inner demon, she assumes her choice has been made—that she has no hope of being anything other than what her father, Loki, has created her to be.
