Last spring Claire's seemingly normal - if not totally screwed up - life was tossed on its head. For five years she'd been one of the damned - a human that knows the truth about the otherworldly among us. She'd worked for The Boss - the Demon King himself - as his administrative assistant, handling everything from early retirements, to Maintenance's incessant requests for dental.

No one gets dental.

Then she walked into Purgatory - totally not her fault - went back in time, and awakened powers she never knew existed. Now Claire has a prophecy hanging over her head, a diamond ring hidden in her sock drawer, and the blood of a long dead royal running through her veins.

And it's only going to get worse.

Her vow to live free or die takes a serious hit when she's forced back under The Boss's protection. Of course, there's no protection from fate, or the bounty hunter sent to deliver her to Purgatory. And as if being "the girl" in the prophecy wasn't enough, Claire soon discovers there are three other contenders for her role: Two of whom want her dead.

Follow more of Claire's adventures in Dark Awakened, the second installment of the Devil's Assistant Series, to find out if she's lucky enough to escape with her life or if she's just the first notch on the next contender's belt.
