From the #1 New York Times bestselling author who has kept readers on the edge of their seats with her phenomenal Fallen Angels novels, comes one of the most heart-stirring and eagerly anticipated events in that acclaimed series.

The Creator invented the game, and the stakes are nothing less than the fate of the quick and the dead: seven souls, seven crossroads. Reluctant savior Jim Heron has compromised himself, his body and his soul, and yet he´s on the verge of losing everything...

...Including Sissy, the innocent he freed from Hell. Jim´s determined to protect her-but this makes her a weakness the demon Devina can exploit. With Jim torn between the game and the woman he´s sworn to defend, evil´s more than ready to play dirty.

Humanity´s savior is prepared to do anything to win-even embark on a suicide mission into the shadows of Purgatory. True love is Jim´s only hope for survival-and victory. But can a man with no heart and no soul be saved by something he doesn´t believe in?
