Volume I
Clara has the rest of her life figured out. She’ll graduate college with the support of her best friend, Jonah; marry her adoring boyfriend; take a full-time job at her local library; and settle down in her small seaside hometown. But when an unusual tourist—tall, dark, and infernal—comes to town, Clara’s careful plans quickly start to unravel.
And even while the stranger, who openly calls himself the devil, strikes up a situationship with Jonah, he continues to tempt Clara with reckless talk of power, ambition, and lust. Over the course of one sultry summer, tensions between Clara, Jonah, and the devil mount to an intolerable degree, and Clara is forced to confront the desires she’s kept secret her whole life, even from herself.
This deliciously dark tale of Faustian bargains and seduction from New York Times–bestselling author Olivie Blake and fan-favorite artist Little Chmura kicks off a series that explores artistry and power through the temptation of the seven deadly sins.
Volume II
A lot has changed since the summer the devil came to Clara’s hometown.
Now fully actualized, Clara is pursuing her literary dreams in grad school, while her steadfast boyfriend, Jonah, collects accolades on the stage. With everything falling into place, there’s no reason for her to fear the devil’s reappearance—until she begins to suspect his attention has strayed to a new victim.
Meanwhile, Gus, an aspiring playwright on campus, encounters a devil of his own: a mysterious barista who plies him with decadent treats and prying questions. Gus has sworn to hold fast to a rigid, monastic lifestyle in order to achieve his lofty ambitions, yet the temptation to indulge his sweet tooth grows ever stronger.
But he will not be led astray. Not even by the devil.
Step into the second installment of this “visually stunning, darkly sexy” (Ali Hazelwood) series that explores artistry and power through the temptation of the seven deadly sins.
