The exiled d?mon Videx prowls Earth killing humans and his own kind for sport. He imprisons his Araurran victims' riven souls in the jewels of his dagger, eating and discarding human life essences along the way. Soul Larcenist, the first book in the Dagger of Sacrados trilogy set in Hellmaw, pits the serial-killing d?mon Videx against his relentless hunter Pugnaan—who is currently disguised as Puck Rysem, a detective with the Toronto Police Service. When Videx shatters the human detective Windsor Kane's world, she enlists Puck's help, ignorant of the truth that her new partner is another monster. Will Pugnaan finally capture Videx and return him to Araunt to answer for his crimes, or will Pugnaan's soul become another prize in Videx's collection?
