Evil, real malevolent evil, has returned after two long years of reprieve. Sophie thinks she's going crazy. Maybe she is--what else could explain what she's seeing, hearing and dreaming?After two thousand years of roaming the Earth, Luke Cervelli knows better than to get involved in the politics of Heaven and Hell, but when he's brazenly attacked by a demon on the streets of Manhattan, he knows something is terribly wrong. He doesn't understand how wrong until he stumbles across a beautiful girl named Sophie--a beautiful girl with a hellish secret. Something big is brewing between Heaven and Hell, the likes of which Luke has never seen, and he has a feeling that Sophie Miller has something to do with it.
