Ela, a bookstore owner who has been raising her autistic brother since their parents abandoned them nearly fourteen years ago, finds herself embroiled with Lucian, an upper level demon who has, after millennia, finally had a crisis of conscience. When Lucian realizes that Ela is the answer to saving a small Canadian town from a war between demons, he creates a plan that will utilize a demon, a mortal, and even heavenly hosts in order to save humanity. But will it be enough? And is Lucian fighting for Ela, or is Ela just the means to secure his own demonic power?
