On the eve of her high school transfer, all Charli wanted was a fresh start to forget her cheating ex-boyfriend. Instead, her school librarian decides to randomly leave her with the stolen Codex of the Angel of Death. With the ledger missing, souls are stuck on Earth, and a leaked PDF version is circulating on the dark web, allowing clueless humans to trade their lifespans to summon demons. ​Now, Charli has to survive a new high school while being hunted by two rival, reincarnated lords of the Underworld.

Charli has no memory of her past divinity, but as her eighteenth birthday approaches and her own dark powers begin to bloom, she must decide which "devil" to trust. You think the devil has horns? ​Yeah, so did she. How wrong she was.
