The New York Times bestseller Harper L. Woods returns with The Damned, the next book in her unforgettable Coven of Bones series.

Trapped.

He fell through the gate to Hell to save my life.

Beelzebub, the Lord of Gluttony, is no longer his own. He’s been mine ever since he caught me singing to myself, falling prey to the magic of my song. If I can keep my distance, we can both move on.

But now, he is caught under my spell, which makes him forbidden to touch. And yet, he is the only one I can trust to get me back to Crystal Hollow.

We’ll have to make it through the Nine Circles of Hell first.

No matter what we lose along the way.
