My third mission into the depths of the Underground City finds me battling its demonic residents in the Toy Store, level four of the hellish afterlife.

Although my guardian angel, Bill, is by my side every step of the way, Bill isn’t much of a consolation when it comes to fighting things that go bump in the night. Instead, I’d much prefer to rely on the brawn and brains of the two thousand year old Celtic warrior, Tallis Black.

But Tallis is busy battling his own demons…the internal type. Ugh, men.

While in the Underground City, I find herself on the wrong end of a demon’s wrath. A surprising encounter with the Master of the Underground City, Alaire, not only ensures my survival, but also leaves me in the unenviable position of being in Alaire’s debt.

It’s no secret that Alaire harbors this strange and unsettling fascination with me, but I’m more concerned with solving Tallis’s deep and dark mysteries hidden beneath his stoic exterior.

While becoming better acquainted with the master of the Underground City and coming ever closer to unraveling the enigma that is Tallis Black, I can only hope I make it through hell and back.
