Ashmielle knows there's something different about her. She simply can't put her finger on it. Living on her own since she was thirteen, she's a cynic and hardened to the world's problems. She tends bar at the place of a crusty old dude named Hank, who is actually a softie on the inside. She minds her own business, puts on a fake smile, and slings beer.

Ashmielle only wants to be left alone.

Samazrael, a demon, has spent the last few decades in the ninth level of hell. And though Lucifer has released him from his incarceration, Samazrael has not released himself. He spends his days and nights in torment for having failed in his mission to keep Lucifer's daughter alive. Until one day, a trusted demon friend tells him there's something he needs to see.

Now, the last thing Samazrael can do is leave Ashmielle alone.
