From the author of the New York Times bestselling
Iscariot comes an award-winning novel that poses the
question: if a demon came up to you and offered to tell his
story, would you listen?
Clay’s life has reached a standstill. Recently divorced, he
spends his days drifting from his drab apartment to his
equally lackluster job as an editor for a small Boston press
and back again. His dreary routine has left him mired in a
seemingly meaningless existence, until the night he meets
Lucian—a demon—and everything changes. With the simple
words, “I’m going to tell you my story, and you’re going to
write it down and publish it,” Lucian catapults Clay’s
mundane life into turmoil.
What begins as an intriguing mystery soon spirals into a
chaotic obsession as Clay struggles to piece together
Lucian’s dark tale of love, ambition, and grace—only to
discover the demon’s story is strikingly similar to his own.
And the only thing that matters now is finding out how the
story ends…
