Three hundred years ago, fate bound Prosper Redding and Prince Alastor
of the Third Realm together. Now the human boy and fiend heir to the
demon kingdom must put aside a centuries-old blood feud to save
everything they love.
Alastor will guide Prosper through the demon realm--under one huge
condition: Prosper must enter into a contract with the malefactor
residing in him, promising eternal servitude in the afterlife. With
Prosper's sister in the clutches of the evil queen Pyra, Prosper has no
choice but to agree.
But when they arrive in Alastor's deliciously demonic home, the realm is
almost as alien to Alastor as it is to Prosper--the lowest fiends have
dethroned the ruling malefactors, while an unfathomable force called the
Void is swiftly consuming the realm. The desperate fiends cling to the
one person who says she can stop it: Pyra.
As Prosper embarks on a perilous rescue mission to the Tower of No
Return, he can't help but feel for the demons losing their home--even
Alastor, who lives by a set of rules that have vanished in a new
world.
With the fates of humans and demons at odds, the battle lines are drawn.
Long ago, Prosper's ancestor Honor Redding proved that humans and demons
could never be friends. But is Prosper like his ancestor? And is Alastor
the same demon who was betrayed by the one human he cared for?
