As a test case for the Milwaukee police, licensed witch Holly Maywood has a lot to prove. Her job is to help solve magic based crimes and after a recent mishap on a case, she's on thin ice. Now on her first homicide case, there's no room for mistakes. As the adopted daughter of Lucifer, Lisianthus Belial wants nothing more than revenge on the angel that took her whole family from her twenty years ago. Constantly secluded from the rest of Hell for her own safety, there's not many people she can trust. When the their two searches collide, witch and demon must work together to figure out who is trying to call forth an archangel and stop them before the centuries cold holy war is reignited.
