Azalea Echo never expected the day she'd be taken by Hellfire's for a crime she didn't mean to commit. Selling her soul to the Devil but never relinquishing it.

Sentenced to 140 years of hard labor. Azalea must work off her time or be locked away for good. She quickly works her way up the labor pool until she lands the hardest job in all of Hellvetica; working in the room of statues. However, she never expected she'd be forced to stand for hours, unclothed, unable to see her onlookers, who have paid a great deal to look upon her and many others...

Now, Azalea must free herself, her mother, and her city from this vicious cycle of destitution.

One man might be her only hope out of here but first she must help him eliminate the very cause of her sentence to the Labor House, Evilod, a deadly drug being bartered throughout the dark market. 

With the help of this strange man she might just be able to escape. 

As the two unearth more about their corrupt city, Azalea can't help but wonder if her savor is the very man who possesses her soul...

❝ Pain was my fuel, until the fire began bleeding from my veins. ❞ The girl without a name. The black-haired fiend devoid of fear. The sharp-tongued scoundrel always ready with a trick up her sleeve. Thief and street rat Azura knows how to hustle a man better than she knows how to read. Some skills are far more important than others in the dog-eat-dog world she survives in. She knows Rupteran will only play nice when the Sharlik Empire keels over and dies, which isn't going to be anytime soon with the piss-poor job the rebellion is doing. But when a robbery that could turn her life around goes sour, Azura's sharp wit and blackened heart will be tested. One should be wary before cornering a wounded animal, and that's exactly how the rebellion finds Azura. With her bloody teeth bared and her hackles risen, Azura is ready to bite off the hand they offer her. But some deals are just too alluring to pass up. ༛༛ ༛ ༛༺༻༛ ༛ ༛༛ ➳ Complete! ➳ Amazing cover designed by @-wanderes ➳ Constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated ༛༛ ༛ ༛༺༻༛ ༛ ༛༛ ➳ Featured in @WattpadDarkFantasy's 'A Kingdom In Shadows' reading list ➳ Featured in @WattpadStars 'Fantasy' reading list ➳ Featured in @WattpadHornsandHalos 'Nephilim Stories' reading list ➳ Featured in @StoriesUndiscovered 'Explore The Stars' reading list ➳ Featured in @antiheroesgalore's 'Monstrously Fantastic' reading list ➳ Featured in @mythandlegend's 'Legendary Creatures and Hybrids' reading list ➳ 'Best Leading Character' in The 2020 Sinne Awards ➳ 'Book To TV Potential' in The 2020 Sinne Awards [[word count: 70,000 - 80,000]]
