A priest of the Church Militant, Jesse Salazar is a monster hunter by both day…and especially by night. After a trip to the Shadow Lands, where he fell afoul of an ancient Akkadian god—killing the god’s wife will do that for you—he has now been exiled to somewhere else. While he has a spirit guide, he has no idea of where he is, where he is to go, or how he is to get there. All the forces of Hell are looking for him, and they would like nothing more than to get their claws on him so they can exact some revenge for the things Jesse has done to them. The tempting of Jesse has begun, and the forces of evil circle ever closer to him. Opposite them—well, they're not quite the forces of heaven, but they'll have to do—is Jesse’s team of monster hunters, led by his wife Diindiisi, along with a few new friends, who are busy trying to find Jesse as well. The forces are arrayed and in motion, but who will find Jesse first? **
