To save her soul, she'll have to put her faith in the Devil. Vivian is trapped in a crumbling tomb masquerading as a palace. Her magic has abandoned her. She is forced to spend each day with Phanes, the false God of Life, afraid of his erratic behavior and his plans for her. After nearly succumbing to her injuries, Venus is stuck in her nightmares, both real and imagined. Her love for Vivian is the only thing driving her forward, desperate to rescue the witch from her father's grasp. Both fight like Hell to return to one another, but the Vivian that returns is not the woman Venus knows. As Vivian struggles to overcome her trauma, her and Venus must prepare to fight against Phanes's crusade against them, overcoming their fears to right his wrongs. The fate of the world hangs in the balance. Will the Dark Lady and the witch who defied her be able to prevail, or will the world be thrown into darkness? This is the second book in the Deal with the Devil duet. Book one, When Flowers Wilt, must be read first.
