The first installment in a fabulous dark urban fantasy seriesโthink Kill Bill with demons and gangsters instead of martial artsโfrom the award-winning author of the Iron Codex trilogy and Vertigo comic Coffin Hill.
Ava has spent the last hundred years as a hellhound, the indentured servant of a reaper who hunts errant souls and sends them to Hell. When a human necromancer convinces her to steal her reaperโs scythe, Ava incurs the wrath of the demon Lilith, her reaperโs boss.
As punishment for her transgression, Lilith orders Ava to track down the last soul in her reaperโs ledger . . . or die trying.
But after a hundred years of servitude, itโs time for payback. And Hell hath no fury like an avenging Ava. . . .
