I had a great time during my chaotic first year at the academy, where I learned about my demonic powers and made a few gorgeous friends. My sophomore year is starting early, introducing me to new classes and new girls, including a quiet tomboy named Andie and an obsessive redhead named Emma. The girls aren’t the only ones on my radar though. News of an ancient demonic artifact surfaces for the first time in generations, and somehow, it’s linked to me. It’s going to take every connection I have to find it, and it just might lead to something that can destroy the entire Nine Circles.

War has begun. The Angelic Kingdom has struck the Nine Circles, shattering the tenuous peace between them and taking the life of someone very close to Jake. Now, the demonic world is splintered into two sides—one that follows Jake and his bonded network while the other rallies behind the rogue ex-archlord Camio and his band of miscreants. Without unity, the Nine Circles can’t hope to stand against the Lord of All Light, especially when an old enemy returns, armed with newfound power and bent on Jake’s destruction.

The Demonic Overlord himself has just dropped the biggest bombshell on Jake, and the stakes have risen again. Now that he’s being pulled deeper into the hierarchy of the Nine Circles, Jake has to find a way to navigate this power-hungry world without the help of his biggest ally—Professor Hightower. The loss couldn’t have come at a worse time. When an ancient demonic sorcerer starts to target Jake, his carefully-constructed world begins to crumble.
