Luci Jennifer Inacio Das Neves (most people just call her 'Lucifer') is a supernatural thief-for-hire, stealing wondrous objects from the dark denizens of the netherworld for her mentor/mother figure, Val Brisendine. But when Lucifer accidentally unleashes a terrible evil from one of the paintings hanging in Val's art gallery, will any of the tricks up her sleeve be enough to stop it?
After unwittingly unleashing Yves from the Empty Garden, there's only one place Lucifer can go to set things right?and that's the Shade itself. And as Lucifer traverses the underworld in search for a cure, Val and Raina become pawns in a much larger game?
