You were a terrifying demon who wielded hellfire, fought angels, and corrupted souls… At least, you think you were. You can no longer be sure, not since you made a deal with Tommy—a nerdy high schooler willing to sell you his soul to become cool.
That should have been easy, right? If anyone can bend and manipulate the minds of pathetic humans, it’s a lord of Hell. But, no! Before you could even begin, Tommy accidentally made you forget your past (and all because he wanted to call you “Zorlok”).
So, now you’re Zorlok. A demon, sure, but a demon with no sense of self and no clue what the hell being a demon means—you don’t know why or how you became like this, how to control your infernal powers, you aren’t even sure how these pacts are supposed to work.
But who are you now? Truly? With your memories and identity stripped away, where does that leave you? You are a demon, but are you still demonic?
And just in case your amnesia and subsequent identity crisis weren’t enough, you’ve gotten involved with a group of monster hunters working for a local fey council. Now you and two random humans are supposed to protect the city of Casper from vicious predators, investigate strange deaths, and fight off “evil”… Whatever.
You’re just glad to get a break from doing Tommy’s math homework.
