For months Laec Matthews bounced between preparing for a demon war and wanting a normal life with the woman he loves. One seemed destined to remain out of reach, while the other threatened to destroy his world.

With all signs pointing to war, it's now up to Laec and his circle of friends to gather battle-ready fighters. Their efforts lead them to forge the most unlikely of alliances, but is it already too late? Has the Queen of Hell learned the secret of the Lock, enabling her to launch a coordinated attack on this realm? Are those her demons who roam the streets and alleys, picking off unsuspecting humans and supernatural warriors alike?

While chaos swirls around him, can Laec finally claim a little luck on his side? If so, he has to be ready when the opportunity strikes, because this time, it's for keeps.
