Beschreibung
For readers who loved New York Times bestseller Gideon the Ninth, Deards delivers a queer speculative fiction novel about what happens when a con artist exorcist becomes possessed for real. A pair of con artist demon exorcists scam the nation's wealthiest . . . until one of them is possessed for real Colton and Lucian make a living conning the desperate with fake exorcisms--Lucian is the charm, Colton the trick, and together, they've turned deception into survival. Their work is dangerous, their romance even riskier, but they've always found a way to stay ahead. Until Lucian is truly possessed. A powerful demon takes hold, twisting his body into something unnatural, horrific, wrong--and no priest, no con, no desperate lie can fix it. With time running out and Lucian slipping further away, Colton has no choice but to learn real magic, break every rule, and attempt the impossible. Because if he fails, Lucian won't just be lost. He'll be something else entirely.
