## Synopsis

Hell, a dark place where the unholy resides, is thrown into absolute chaos when the mysterious seventh sin comes to take her place on the throne as a member of the Seven Deadly Sins. But unlike the other known sins, Wrath isn’t fully a demon. Raised on Earth with humans, many of Hell’s inhabitants view her as weak and despise the thought of someone like that sitting on a throne in Hell.

In return, Lucifer creates The Wicked Games — Hell’s greatest event — which allows demons and souls to fight for the title of Wrath. The seven greatest sinners are forced to participate causing Harry, Jacob, Timothy, Sebastian, and Olivia to push their youngest sister beyond her limits. As tensions rise, an epic battle between Nathaniel and Zoie changes the House of Morningstar forever and the winner takes it all…

## Plot

Lucifer arrives and learns that Zoie is unresponsive. Beelzebub tells Lucifer that Harry carried Zoie in his arms and Lucifer decides to get information on what happened. They reveal that Zoie had been tortured during her imprisonment with The SN Organization. Lilith cleans Zoie while the others wait outside her door before allowing them to enter. They visit an unconscious Zoie but leave with Lucifer joining his council for a meeting to discuss Zoie. Most of the demons of the council aren’t convinced that Zoie is Wrath so Lucifer comes with a plan to settle everyone by creating The Wicked Games.

Five days later, Beelzebub gets all of the Seven Deadly Sins together to explain the games but Harry doesn’t like the idea of participating. Olivia showcases concern for Zoie since she has yet to have awoken. Jacob joins the rest of the group after visiting Zoie and reveals that her wounds have healed but she has still not made any progress with waking up. Olivia reveals that the Wicked Games begin in nine days. As Beelzebub deals with the group, Leviathan arrives and reveals that Zoie has awoken.

Meanwhile, Zoie sits in bed and ignores everyone in the room. She realizes where she is but cannot remember what led to her imprisonment. Lilith attempts to speak to Zoie but gets no response. The demons continue to try and speak to her but fail. Lucifer arrives and Zoie becomes aware of who he is.

Lucifer speaks and tells Zoie that he’s happy that she’s has awoken but Beelzebub reveals that she is mute. Lilith watches as Lucifer and Zoie stare at one another in silence and she notices that Zoie seemed to challenge the devil and wasn’t afraid. Suddenly, Zoie speaks to her father and shocks the rest of the demons who are in the room. She reveals that she remembers everything about her childhood, parentage, siblings, and the treatment she experienced during her time in the organization. The rest arrive in time for Zoie to explain that she was stabbed and shot by the doctors and guards during her prison sentence and Lucifer reveals to her that she will participate in the Wicked Games.

Days later, Zoie is training with Lilith and Leviathan but has shown no progress which disappoints Lucifer. Zoie hadn’t used her powers during any of the training. She tells Leviathan that she will participate under the condition that he deliver something for her. She creates a snow globe and tells him that it’s a tracker which will tell anyone when she is near and she wants him to take it to Simone. Leviathan notices that Zoie loses her balance and catches her before she can fall and he realizes that she’s not doing well.

Harry arrives and takes Zoie with him but Levi now sees that something is wrong with her and notices that she’s using Harry as support to keep her from falling over. He leaves and goes to Zoie’s room where he discovers that Zoie had destroyed everything in her room except for a letter written to Simone. He reads it and sees that Zoie cannot remember anything that happens after Kira’s death and that her goal is to return to Simone.

Harry takes Zoie to eavesdrop on one of the meetings with the council in hopes of her improving. The Seven Deadly Sins listen as many of the council member’s talk down on Zoie but Nate makes it clear that Lucifer isn’t saying anything to them about it because he knows that Zoie will revealing that Lucifer is aware that their group is eavesdropping. Zoie enters the room much to everyone’s surprise. Beelzebub tries to stop her since they are forbidden from stepping into the council’s throne room but Zoie continues forward and begins to taunt Mulciber because of his remarks towards her. Mulciber considers her disrespectful and rushes towards Zoie but is stopped by her using telekinesis to push him away.

Nate tells the rest of their group that Zoie is angry and Lucifer notices it which is why he’s allowing her to do so to see what she’ll do. Zoie warns them to not make her angry and prepares to leave but Lucifer stops her and demands that she train with him the following day.

The following day, Lucifer and Zoie meet to begin the training. Zoie reveals that she cannot fight because she is weak and hasn’t fully healed and feels like she wants to fall out anytime she uses her power. She asks Lucifer to explain how things in Hell work and Lucifer explains Pandaemonium, Dis, and Sin City to her. She learns that her siblings are well respected in Hell because Sin City is the closest thing to paradise for many of the souls.

Lucifer and Zoie begin their training with Lucifer. Olivia enters the room after seeing Lucifer throw Zoie through the walls and asks him to stop. Ignoring her, Lucifer continues to assault Zoie by attacking her with large piece of concrete from the walls. Zoie stands up now angry with lightning come from her palms and punches Lucifer through another wall before leaving.

Later, the Seven Deadly Sins and throwing a party in Sin City to celebrate the Wicked Games. While Nate sits, Jacob talks with souls, Olivia dances, Harry sneaks off with a woman, Timothy finds food, and Sebastian joins Nate, Zoie arrives and goes to the bar. The deceased bartender tells Zoie that she’s different compared to the rest because of her manners towards souls despite her being a demon. Zoie tells the woman to not fear her but the woman asks if she created superhumans and killed her ex. Before she can respond, Chris arrives and confirms that she did.

Chris and Zoie begin to taunt one another. Chris reveals that Phoebe made it to Heaven much to Zoie’s surprise, Chris asks if Zoie died to make it to Hell but Zoie surprises him by admitting that she is immortal and is able to travel to Hell. She tells him that he never received justice and that many believe that he murdered Phoebe and then killed himself. Chris gets upset and tells Zoie that he’s participating in the games and will come for her throne and title but Sebastian steps in before the situation could escalate. Chris leaves and Sebastian warns Zoie that many are coming for her and that she cannot give up and must fight.

The following day, the family eats together for breakfast. Zoie spends her morning drinking majority of the alcohol and Harry asks if Nate could deactivate Zoie’s inhuman power so she cannot give herself more power to make it fair for everyone. Zoie gets upset but Nate shuts her down causing her to attack him.

He snaps her wrist but Lucifer jumps in and removes Zoie from the room. Jacob explains Zoie’s story and asks that everyone give her time and respect her. Lilith reveals that Zoie hadn’t used any of demonic abilities since the beginning and that her power would be considered greatness in Hell giving her the title of the future ruler of Hell which originally would’ve been Nate’s. Lucifer and Zoie return but Nate angrily tells her that that she’s an embarrassment and to not allow others to boost her head up before leaving which makes Lucifer cut their breakfast short.

The same day, the games start but the group is disappointed to learn that Zoie was drunk. Sebastian reveals that Lilith had to takeover in order to give him time to prepare for the games. Zoie shows up as the last participant after taking a nap to sober up. Harry wishes Zoie luck as the group enters the arena. Beelzebub announces the first challenge as the maze and Asmodeus stands to explain the challenges.

Zoie asks questions to Jacob and he answers realizing that Zoie still didn’t know much about Hell. He reveals that the souls are no different from a human in Hell but they’d lose their physical body once they returned to Earth. Asmodeus calls them out for talking during his speech as Jacob jokes with him along with Harry. The game starts and Zoie is too afraid to enter but Lucifer demands that she enters so she does.

Nate attacks a man and demands that his shadow find the exit while Sebastian sleeps within the maze. Two demons arrive and discusses winning the throne but an asleep Sebastian attacks them and defends Zoie before snapping the neck of one of the men. Olivia and Timothy are standing at the exit after discuss their surprise in Nate not being the first to find the exit. Harry and Jacob soon join the rest of the group followed by Sebastian who is pushed there by Nate’s shadow which confirms that Nate was near the exit. Concerned about Zoie, Timothy enters the maze again to find her.

Timothy arrives to save Zoie who is sitting in the maze afraid. He tells her to run just as a group arrives to attack her and he will tell her where to go. The two run towards the exit but are stopped by another group. Timothy demands that Zoie fight back but Zoie says she cannot. Angry, Timothy slaps Zoie across the face causing her to shoot to the exit. Timothy tells Zoie that he will not help her again and Olivia agrees.

Daeva arrives and pulls Zoie with her. She reveals that Lucifer gives her his power because she is loyal but she doesn’t want Zoie’s title or throne and is only participating to prove that she is worthy and doesn’t need Lucifer’s power. The two bond for a minute. As Zoie prepares to walk away, Daeva grabs her arm and warns her to not trust anyone. Zoie joins the rest of the group as Nathaniel and Daeva stare one another.

The group enters the next challenge and Timothy is told to not use his power of speed or he will be disqualified and Olivia cannot replicate his speed in order to make it fair for others. Lucifer talks with Belphegor and realizes that none of the sins were taking the game seriously.

They enter the next challenge which is a flood but Sebastian quits because he doesn’t want to swim. Zoie begins to panic due to the amount of dead bodies in the water but Olivia forces her to pull it together. Soon, the bodies begin to move and pull the players down. She watched everyone make it out the water except for her who is being dragged underwater by the dead bodies. Sebastian cleans up and makes his way to sit with Lucifer in time to see Zoie going underneath the water.

Everyone watches in shock. As Asmodeus prepares to announce that Zoie has been eliminated, she flies into the air and creates a tsunami. Sebastian realizes that Zoie’s dark side has taken over and she prepares to attack Nate with the tsunami so he uses a mind link to snap her out of it. Zoie controls the bodies to allow her to give off the illusion of walking on water. The group celebrates Zoie allowing her demonic side to come out but Nate warns her to keep it there because she will go against him in the next round alone.

The remaining contestants clean up and prepare to watch the next round. Nate and Jacob places a bet on will win the next challenge with two souls. Meanwhile, Chris watches Zoie from afar and reminisces on their relationship. Harry notices Chris watching Zoie and asks about their history and Zoie reveals their story to her siblings. Sebastian arrived and pulls Zoie away from the group to talk.

Sebastian and Zoie argue about her demonic side after Sebastian tells her to let it out and let it stay but Zoie breaks down and admits that she doesn’t know who she is and she’s afraid to let that side of her out completely because she fears that she will lose control again. Sebastian tells Zoie that she has breast touched the surface at what she can do. She calls herself wrath and he tells her to act like it before returning to his seat with Lucifer.

The next round begins after Athena wins the last one. Nate makes it clear that he’s rooting for Chris to win his challenge against Melvin to spite Zoie. Melvin and Chris swing their weapons at one another while everyone watches. Sebastian tries to get Lucifer to understand how Zoie is feeling from their conversation together but Lucifer views Zoie as a disappointment. Lilith stop Sebastian from talking before an argument between the father and son could become bigger.

Chris reveals that Zoie is the reason why he is in Hell and vows to win the challenge before slicing Melvin’s neck with the sword. Nate celebrates Chris’s win despite the look of anger on his face proving that he was just as pissed at Chris as the rest of the siblings were. The next round begins and Zoie watches it in shock. Harry tells Zoie that what she’s watching is nothing compared to what they can do. He explains that in order to win the current challenge that the players have to get their opponent on the outside of the black line.

The next round begins and Zoie continues to learn more about everyone. Jacob reveals that he’s a billionaire on Earth despite never living there due to The Illuminati taking care of his businesses for him. He reveals that he owns hotels in New York, Las Vegas, Dubai, and more but none of his workers have ever met him. He tells Zoie that many demons have their own connections and explains that’s how Zoie, Simone, and Kira received their childhood home because Lucifer used money to give to Leviathan to protect Zoie. Jacob reveals that he plans to return to Earth after the games.

Daeva goes against Legu in the challenge while everyone else watches. Legu uses his tail to stab Daeva injecting her with his poison. Zoie sees the blood and begins to want to attack someone. Harry tells her that bloodlust is what drives them as demons and that they cannot go long without harming someone. He tells her to let go but she refuses to give in.

Legu carries Daeva towards the black line so she can be eliminated. Daeva tricks him and uses his own tail to stab him with it causing him to drop to his knees from poison. Using her power, Daeva makes it to where he cannot heal himself before kicking the man behind the black line and winning the challenge.

Jacob and Harry step into the arena to go against one another. Harry teleports and snatches Jacob’s heart out but Jacob rips Harry’s head off. Harry kicked Jacob back before reattaching his head onto his shoulders. Timothy tells Zoie that their fight is nothing compared to what they usually can do but it wouldn’t work on one another.

Sebastian screams at the two to stop dragging the challenge and to end it but Harry and Jacob stop in the middle of the fight to argue with Sebastian. Olivia screams at them but Harry teases her, Timothy defends Olivia and joins the argument. Lucifer steps up and ends the argument between them all. Nate leaves the area and runs into Daeva who tells him that she knows what he’s doing.

Nate chokes Daeva against the wall and warns her to keep her mouth shut before snapping her neck and leaving her body there and returning to watch the game just in time for Harry to win the challenge. Olivia and Timothy begin their challenge against one another. Harry explains to Zoie that some powers won’t work on demons as it would with humans. Olivia uses her power but Timothy does nothing which makes her angry. In the end, Timothy breaks the rule and uses his power of speed to end it resulting into his win.

Nate and Zoie enter the arena to begin their challenge against one another. Nate tells her that he may have took away her power of bestowal but he hadn’t taken any power that she had given herself through that power due to him wanting to beat her at her best. He begins to break Zoie’s bones and humiliates her in front of all watchers. He uses telekinesis to send a pole through Zoie’s stomach. Nate begins to address the audience stating that Zoie is weak over and over again.

Nate taunts Zoie and blames her for the death of Kira before she snaps. Zoie stands up and smiled with flames surrounding her hands much to the surprise of many. Lucifer celebrates and announces that everyone would now see Wrath in action. Nate and Zoie begin to fight one another but they’re equally good. Lilith places a force field around everyone except for the two after Nate creates a tornado through his power of illusion.

Zoie throws her signature lightning bolt towards Nate while everyone watches in excitement. The two both fly into the air before and impact. Once the smoke clears, everyone sees that the arena has been destroyed while Zoie is still standing but Nate is on the ground near the black line and only saved by his own shadow. The crowd cheers and Lucifer announces it as a draw.

He steps into the center and explains that he created the games to prove a point. Because Zoie has showcased how great she is, he ends the games. He applauds Nate and tells him that he’s proud of him before taking Zoie away to begin preparations for her coronation.

In the end, the group are all dressed and ready to attend Zoie’s coronation where they will celebrate afterward with a party in Sin City. Lilith sits with Zoie as she prepares to be crowned. She prepares to leave but believes that Zoie had returned to her previous state but she turns around and sees that Zoie is staring at her reflection with black eyes and flames surrounding her hand confirming that her dark side remained at surface. Zoie arrives to the throne room and is crowned and finally announced as Wrath, a Princess of Hell. Nate watches from afar and vows to make Zoie reap what she sows because she had crossed him.

The book ends with Tobias sitting in a meeting with Sergio Martinez and The President. The President shows the two footage of police vehicles. Tobias makes it known that he is confused but a man enters and tells the president that the police couldn’t place the handcuffs on them because it would get too hot but they agreed to come willingly. The man leaves as the President reveals to Tobias and Sergio that the Seven Deadly Sins had returned and that they’ve bought Zoie with them.
