Description: Once the most powerful mage in t he land, Jenny Waynest is now a broken woman. Though sickened by the memory of how the demon Amayon had possessed her body to slake his sadistic lusts, she knows a part of her was corrupted by his touch. That part mourns the demon's defeat and longs for his return, though he has already cost her everything she holds dear ... the trust of her husband, Lord John Aversin, the chance to be a mother to her mage-born son, and the magic that had given her life its purpose. Lord John has torments of his own ... memories of the beautiful and cruel Aohilla, demon queen of a rival hell, whom he'd trick into providing the help he needed to free Jenny. Now, condemned to death for trafficking with demons, John cannot forgive Jenny for what she suffered ... nor himself for opening the door to a far greater evil ... an evil that still haunts his dreams ...
