Dark Touch (A Dark Lord Novel)

Bender made a deal with the devil—literally. Driven by rage, he traded his soul for the power to avenge his mother. Now, millennia later, he roams the earth, hunting demons and freeing the souls they’ve stolen, hoping to buy his way back into heaven (or at least avoid eternal damnation). The work is lonely, brutal, and seemingly endless.

His routine is shattered when he crosses paths with Aria, a waitress working double shifts to escape a past she can't outrun. After two men tried hurt her, Bender killed them both and he did it without an ounce of remorse on his handsome face. Now, she’s terrified and confused, struggling to reconcile the kind stranger who saved her with the ruthless killer she witnessed.

The demons are gathering and killing people in droves. They are hunting someone and Aria fits that description. In order to keep her off the death list, he’s going to have to protect her and gain her trust. What Bender doesn’t know is that Aria isn’t just a random victim. She’s a key to something far bigger, and a rising demonic power is hunting her, gathering its forces to unlock the prison Eve made to trap their demonic mother Lilith. Bender is the only thing standing in their way between Aria and absolute dominion over humanity.
