I have no memory of being this evil thing, this creature king of lower realms, bringing darkness and death to Earth… who has fallen from the Light of Heaven. Dags Jourdain finally learned the truth of who he was––and it broke him. Forced to see himself damned, his life damned, his relationships damned. Unable to stomach the thought of doing that to others. Unable to accept his sole purpose might be to bring darkness and chaos to everyone he loves. So he left. He left his girlfriend, his friends, anyone who might end up his collateral damage. He couldn’t be what his dark brother wanted him to be, either. As much as Uri tried to convince him it was fate, Dags couldn’t embrace the supposed joy of being the most evil thing in existence. Then homicide detective Kara Mossman calls, needing his help. Dags can’t say no, and soon finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation, where the prime suspect is a ten-year-old child. The deaths appear savage, motive-less, with all the markers of supernatural badness. Determined to save the boy from a fate worse than death, Dags reluctantly rejoins the world and faces the truth he’s spent weeks fighting to avoid. He also gets hit by the fallout from everyone he left behind… including his movie star girlfriend, Phoenix X, who didn’t exactly cope well with his vanishing act, either.
