Dante and Helena were never meant to survive each other.
Two outlaw sweethearts with gasoline in their veins, blood on their boots, and a death wish carved into every kiss. They tore through the city like a Bonnie-and-Clyde hurricane - robbing, running, shooting, loving. A spark and a flame doomed to burn themselves out.
But the night they're ambushed in the desert, only Helena makes it out alive.
Dante wakes up in Hell.
Literally.
There, a Devil in a perfect black suit offers him a way back to the living world... and to Helena. All Dante has to do is collect one thousand evil souls. A gun forged in Hell becomes his only companion as he claws his way back to Earth - no longer human, no longer whole, driven by a love that starts to rot the longer he chases it.
As Dante's body twists and his mind unravels, he becomes The Red Ghost, a monster newspapers fear and the Devil applauds. Prison breaks, forbidden moments, hallucinations of Helena, the creeping suspicion she's moved on - the further he goes, the less of himself remains.
By the time he reaches nine-hundred-ninety-nine souls, Dante finally understands the truth:
The Devil never intended for him to reunite with Helena.
Because the last soul Dante owes... is his own.
In a final confrontation drowned in blood, ruin, and heartbreak, Dante realizes the one thing he never wanted to believe:
Some love stories are meant to end in gunfire.
Some lovers are only reunited in death.
And all we are...
is bullets.
