But now an assignment from the Creator Himself is going to change that. If Lucifer agrees to do Heaven’s dirty work, he can name his own price – buth both the task and the reward are more than they seem. Thrown into a position of great threat and ultimate opportunity, Lucifer knows that threading a path through this maze will require the harshest of sacrifices. Fortunately for the Devil, it’s only a question of who is going to make them.” -Back cover, volume 1.
