"I knew what I was doing when I did it..." And so begins the story of Faith Evans, the battered wife of a New York police officer. From her hospital bed, Faith prays for vengeance for her current state, and revenge on the man who is supposed to love her yet beats her without mercy and calls her insane. As she lies in a hospital bed, Faith finds that her prayers are quickly answered in the form of a demon calling himself Jade. Forging a contract with the woman, Jade eliminates her husband along with another demon he calls his partner and promises her happiness for the rest of her mortal life. The only catch: he gets her soul once she dies. But Faith does not count of just how far one demon will go to make sure her soul suffers by his own hand, or how far a more holy creature will go to save it... The prequel to The Beautiful Fallen Trilogy, The Contract explores the life of the woman who started everything that would lead up to Ariana Benson's birth, and just how far she must go to save her own soul. But can one truly save their soul after its been damned for over eighty years?
