When defiant mortal Elias Faraday arrives at the Abyssal Palace as Lucifer's newest pet, his bold attitude sets him apart. Though expected to submit, Elias harbors mysterious ambitions. Why does Lucifer indulge his uncommon audacity when no other pet dares to defy him?

Asmodeus, Prince of Desire and one of Hell's most powerful demons, finds himself fascinated by Elias. Despite his efforts to remain detached, Elias keeps slipping past his defenses, awakening feelings long thought buried. As intrigues swirl around the two, Asmodeus resolves to uncover Elias's true purpose.

But Elias guards dangerous secrets. Playing the court's scheming games is a gamble with eternal stakes. With sinister forces manipulating from the shadows, Elias must walk a knife's edge between desire and vengeance.
