The Necromancer's Redemption

Between hell and a hard place...
Before he died, necromancer Ruby Montagne's demon grandfather passed her his Death Essence-his power. And that would be good ... if she had a clue how to use it. Unfortunately, the impending destruction of both of her worlds demands she figures it out-fast. She's got to stop an invasion of zombies from the bowels of hell. She has help from Xavier, the demon she's nicknamed the Big Bad. But while Xavier does teach her to control her new power, he's just setting her up for trouble. Bad trouble. Still, he's better than the demon High Inquisitor, who's obsessed with trying to kill her.

Ruby's got even more trouble. She wants to regain the trust of her sometimes-lover, sometimes-adversary, Ewan-a demon warrior who's six-feet-plus of chiseled muscle and coiled sexuality. It'd be a lot easier if her beloved friend, Lysander, a powerful vampire, wouldn't keep trying to lure her into bed.

In order to defeat the zombies she must find-and learn how to use-an ancient artifact that will keep the veil between the worlds from shattering. But there's a cost-the artifact feeds on souls. If she masters the artifact's power, she'll save both the human and demon worlds. But there's not much time ... and the artifact is hungry. Will she forfeit her soul before she's able to fix the veil?
