Eddy Marks' life is pretty boring, even working for the local newspaper lacks the excitement she is craving, though her hometown is currently experiencing a strange phenomenon involving yard art. Those occurrences remind her of the crazy stories her father spins regarding the Lemurians, an ancient myth of immortals living in Mount Shasta right outside her hometown of Evergreen, California. One evening while walking home, she hears her dog barking. As she hurries to let the dog out, it goes straight to her shed. When she opens the shed door, she comes face-to-face with a gnarling, pitchfork-welding gnome stabbing a naked man. Not exactly the excitement she was looking for.

Dax is a fallen Demon; not bad enough for the Abyss, but not good enough for Paradise, so he resides in the void until the Edenites decide what to do with him. He finally receives his summons; he is given the task of destroying the demons that have crossed through the vortex to wreak havoc on earth. If he succeeds, he will be given passage to Paradise. Dax accepts the challenge, but as he crosses the threshold with his new human male body, he is attacked by a very large Gargoyle shooting demonfire that flashes across Dax's chest onto his snake tattoo rendering him immobile. Dax wakes up to find a woman smashing a gnome housing a demon in order to save him. What will she think after he explains who he is and what is doing in her town?

Kate Douglas introduces a new series with intriguing characters and a new world with amazing possibilities. A great read!
