What if a woman sold her soul to a demon and three hundred years later wanted it back? In the 17th century, a woman is ripped from her husband's arms, unjustly thrown in jail, and then set afire as a witch. Saved by an ancient Sumerian demon, she becomes the Black Ghost, his Ageless assassin gifted with otherworldly skills and superbly trained in martial arts. Centuries pass before Maliha Crayne finds a way out of the life she has come to loathe. If she saves as many lives as she's taken as the Black Ghost, she will break the demon's hold on her. If she fails, she will suffer the demon's torment … forever. Advance praise: "Sometimes you just need a kick-ass former demon's slave to tackle life's problems. Especially one wielding a whip sword.
