The New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller Harper L. Woods returns with The Damned, the next book in her unforgettable Coven of Bones series. ---The living do not belong here with the damnedAn uneasy truce exists between the witches of Hollows Grove University and the archdemons who now walk among them. Unlike her fellow Red witches, Margot Erotes has never embraced her true power to draw magic from her own sensuality and desire. Instead, her magic finds a release through music, weaving a spell that can bind anyone who hears it to her. So when Beelzebub, Lord of Gluttony, comes upon Margot singing to herself in the University's courtyard, he instantly falls prey to her song - and doesn't hesitate to follow her when she is thrown through the gates to Hell. Caught under Margot's spell, the archdemon is forbidden to her touch, and yet he is the only one she can trust to get her back to Hollow's Grove. They just have to make it through the Nine Circles of Hell first. No matter what they lose along the way.
