Overview

Years ago, a foolish wastrel once played a hand of cards with the devil... and lost. Now Frey has inherited his uncle's double curse: the Devil's claim written on his body in crimson letters, and the impossibly good luck that comes with it. Death is Frey's only escape from his destiny, but not even Etienne, an expert assassin from the Order of the Crimson Seal, can defeat Frey's luck alone. And when Etienne finds himself growing too fond of his victim, he doesn't know if Frey's good nature or the luck is to blame. However, Etienne will give his all to preventing the Archdemon's return, even if his all includes wearing a corset, and killing a friend.
