Jim Heron stands at the brink of losing everything that matters. The Creator's deadly game continues with seven souls hanging in the balance, and Jim has already sacrificed his body and soul in service as humanity's reluctant savior. Now Sissy, the innocent woman he rescued from Hell, has become his greatest vulnerability. The demon Devina recognizes this weakness and moves to exploit it. Jim must choose between protecting the woman he loves and completing his mission to save all of humanity. Evil forces prepare their dirtiest tactics yet. Jim decides on a desperate gamble that could destroy him completely. He will venture into Purgatory's shadows on what amounts to a suicide mission. Only true love might offer him salvation and victory, but Jim questions whether a man stripped of heart and soul can be redeemed by something he has lost faith in.
