"This is my body, this is my blood, this is my soul given to you." With the weight of an unwanted crown on her head, Raven finds herself in the midst of a war. After burying a sibling and imprisoning a friend, she struggles to control her dynamic powers which continue to rapidly evolve. Heaven is breathing down her neck with the emergence of new threats and doubtful promises. Refusing the support of her loved ones, she alone plunges into an endless game of chance, but there's a rising darkness behind the pearly gates she cannot endure on her own. In Hell, things are no better. She's faced with the pretentious disposition of a female Hellhound den, and the Hellfire she'd stolen seems to have a mind, and desires, of its own. As her mate and her sister begin to push back against the walls she's built, her closest confidant reveals a secret that could save or doom them all. Her Hounds need a leader, her family needs balance, and the world calls for a savior. Raven feels herself slipping further into her demonic tendencies, and this time she wonders if it's best to just let herself fall.
