Marianne and the Devil

No woman in the Abernathy family has lived past twenty-six. Their legacy is a collection of letters, a cursed coin — and a daughter left to fend for herself in a game already rigged against her.

Marianne, a paralegal fighting a high-stakes lawsuit by day and an occult researcher by night, is painfully aware that the clock is ticking down on the days she has left. With her options sparse, she turns to the only solution she can think of: summoning the Devil himself.

Only the Devil actually comes.

And he’s not some biblical boogeyman trading apples. He’s just a guy who listens to Patsy Cline, loves classic cars, and collects souls one at a time. Now he’s after Marianne, with exactly seven days to make good on the deal.

But Marianne isn’t about to roll over and hand him her soul that easily.

To survive and save those caught in the crossfire, she’ll have to outsmart everyone at the table, negotiate better deals with lawyers and the Devil alike, and uncover the truth behind her curse before it's too late. As her time bleeds away, Marianne has to decide whether the Devil is really her greatest enemy — or the only person who can help her.
