A Pact. A Magician. A Choice. A love worth defying Hell for.
It’s 1984, and Ilena Firan has spent the last eight years running from an infernal past of heartache, failure, and betrayal.
Now, a summons forces her back into the nightmare. Scholomance – the Devil’s school. She expected judgment and disdain from her former classmates. What she doesn’t expect to find is her former lover serving as the Devil’s Vântorii—the Devil’s enforcer, hunting oath-breakers across Europe.
When the Devil announces that one of His own ancient and eldritch dragons seeks a new rider to be bound by, the Scholomance is turned on its head as many are tempted to take this ‘honor’ and the newfound power it brings for themselves.
Caught between her longing for a shared past and the burning hatred of the man she once loved, Illena must also fight the temptation that the Devil has laid out for them all.
However, the Devil’s lies run deeper than either of them imagined, and time is running out.
