If he dies, she dies. And the demons are already circling.

Sorrel Redwood has two rules: never run out of sage and never face a demon without clean underwear.

The first is practical.
The second is personal.

Raised on a commune and trained in herbcraft, Sorrel sees what others can’t—spirits and demons that stalk San Francisco’s alleys, rooftops, and fragile Victorians. Banishing them pays the rent. Hunting the ones who killed her mother drives her forward.

But when a routine job unleashes Ranth, a powerful wizard trapped in a cursed bracelet, Sorrel is suddenly on every demon’s menu.

Bound together by dark magic, the two must dodge feral hellhounds, unravel the secrets of an ancient cult, and fight the attraction simmering between them. Because if Ranth dies, so does Sorrel—and she’s not about to let her life, or her heart, be someone else’s curse.
