I was supposed to be going to Harvard on a full ride. I’ve always been excellent at chemistry. Turns out my knack for chemicals was because my mum is a witch and a potions master. Apparently, now I’m going to Fortuna Conservatory instead, something about being the princess of Hell. Something big is happening. My birth wouldn’t have been foretold if it wasn’t. I need to unlock all of my gifts as half angel half witch because whatever is going on, I’ve only scratched the surface.

I know why no one said anything when Zeus came to the underworld. I know there’s a plan to get Hephaestus back. There’s also a lot I don’t know that I need to learn fast. I have this mysterious demonic form from my father that I need to learn to access. Hephaestus made all these weapons capable of taking down Olympians if they came, but I don’t know how to use them. I’m not going to get lucky again like I did with Demeter. I have to learn all this, and if I don't, I’ll be grounded in my room when everyone tries to rescue my God.

Rook is not taking any more of our players under my watch. Rook’s last move gutted all of us, but he made what is probably a fatal mistake. Little did any of us know the woman we all called Granny had a secret boyfriend. Milo is ex-FBI and he’s pissed. Milo wants blood just as much as we all do. Milo has become a mentor to all of us and there are perks. We have a new mark. And we have one chance to prove to Milo’s FBI friends that Rook and his deranged Queen are real and not some New Orleans police force urban legend.

Rook has threatened Misty. We sent his Queen on the run, and she nearly killed Casey on her way out. I’m not a computer genius or a cop. I’m an artist, and I was a military medic. I don’t have the skills to do anything except help Casey heal and just be moral support while my friends do what I can’t. I feel helpless and powerless to protect Misty.

My familiar brings us word. Another one of my mates has their life on the line with this deadly game with the Hellhounds and the mysterious Prince of Hell. They don’t seem to know Lilith is on our side. We have our secrets too. The game strikes a little too close to home and I’m in a fighting mood. It’s time to fight back. I have this idea I can play the Hellhounds like they’ve been trying to play me. My little game goes a little too far as my angel gifts start appearing when I’m not trying to call them.

Rook has Misty. He’s not taking another person we love, even if we all have to die to save her. The FBI failed us. We failed Misty.

Ziva continued to ghost us while Rook has Misty. The instructions are clear. We are all summoned to a warehouse. We are to come unarmed, with no backup and no weapons. We all know we could be walking to our deaths. We know Misty could already be dead.
