Paperback Edition 
 
Evangeline Crowe has always had bad luck. Dead parents. A dying little sister. A cursed bloodline. A city that trusts vampires, demons, and monsters more than it trusts witches. In modern New York, the supernatural world is no secret, but witches like Evangeline are still treated like loaded weapons. When her sister’s mysterious curse worsens and every doctor, healer, and coven turns them away, Evangeline does the one thing every witch is warned never to do. She summons something forbidden. Belzareth is not the minor spirit she meant to call. He is an incubus prince. A demon with a name carved out of sin, a smile made for ruin, and a reputation that makes even monsters lower their eyes. He offers Evangeline a bargain: seven favors in exchange for her sister’s life. Desperate, she signs. But the contract is only the beginning. Each favor drags Evangeline deeper into New York’s glittering supernatural underworld, where angelic councils lie, witches sell bloodlines, demons trade in desire, and her family’s secrets are worth killing for. Belzareth claims he only wants her magic, but the more danger finds her, the harder his control begins to fracture. He is cruel to everyone else. Possessive with her. And when a demon who feeds on desire decides one witch belongs to him, the contract becomes the least dangerous thing between them. Because Evangeline asked him to save her sister. She never asked him to claim her too.
