description: I would say it's a pleasure to meet thee Prosperity Oceanus Redding but truly I only anticipate the delights of destroying thy happiness.Prosper is the only unexceptional Redding in his old and storied family history  that is until he discovers the demon living inside him. Turns out Prosper's great-great-great-great-great-something grandfather made  and then broke  a contract with a malefactor a demon who exchanges fortune for eternal servitude. And weirdly enough four-thousand-year-old Alastor isn't exactly the forgiving type. The fiend has reawakened with one purpose  to destroy the family whose success he ensured and who then betrayed him. With only days to break the curse and banish Alastor back to the demon realm Prosper is playing unwilling host to the fiend who delights in tormenting him with nasty insults and constant attempts trick him into a contract. Yeah Prosper will take his future without a side of eternal servitude thanks. Little does Prosper know the malefactor's control over his body grows stronger with each passing night and there's a lot Alastor isn't telling his dim-witted (but admittedly strong-willed) human host.
