Duke Adolph AsarlaĆs was condemned to join the teeming swarm of mindless souls in Donn's cold netherworld. After fifteen years of searching, he's found a weak spot in the boundaries of hell and has escaped with his memories and powers intact. However, his spirit is locked in the form of a Sluagh, an abominable soul stealing creature. New Camelot's greatest warrior, the leader of her armies during the Troll uprising, the defender of the mystical medieval realm is out for vengeance. Vengeance against a family that betrayed him when he attempted to keep the country from falling into more bloodshed with a civil war should his nephew ascend the throne. However, implementing his plans is delayed by an incompetent balladeer that has affixed himself to him like a burr. Modern day Isabella Pearce is mortally wounded in the line of duty. Donn and Danu offer to save her if she will do them one tiny favor-she has to return the Sluagh back to hell. Given an enchanted sword and a virile red-headed deputy to help her, she traverses the countryside looking for clues. Deputy Sheriff Cody can handle anything fey, human or not so human. Dealing with a soul-sucking demon is out of his area of expertise. When Danu sends him a professional detective to aide him, his first thought is "she's mine." He's determined to send Adolph back to hell and keep the beautiful Old Worlder with him as his mate in New Camelot. Gloom and Doom are two Dungeon Fairies. Until they perform extraordinary good deeds by helping humans without getting involved in human affairs, they will never be able to regain their bright colors and sip the nectar of gods. This is not an easy task. After the Celtic god Donn tells them what he wants, they are disheartened for it would be easier to move Ben Nevis to the seaside than accomplish the impossible. Fate is an omnipotent being. She lays her plans down years, nay, centuries in advance. With Fate involved, anything can happen.
