You know how it is, one day your car is stolen and you lose your job and the next day, you're inhabited by a dark goddess from the underworld. That's what happens to Holly Foster, a simple girl from California, when Hel, Norse Goddess of Death, suddenly invades her body and fights her for control. Both soon realize they are bound; if one dies, so does the other. Neither Holly or Hel knows what is happening to them until they discover a dark force relentless in a pursuit of their newfound powers. A moody warlock, Emry St. Thomas, investigator for the paranormal, may be the only one able to help. The question is, will he want to if it means risking his heart...and his life? Or will Holly run from him and her problems like she always does?
