I am Calixta Harlow Carlyle, and the devil is after me. One day like any other, a man killed me mercilessly. Then I woke up in the antechamber of heaven, where I met the embodiments of Virtues and the Keepers of Magic.
Those devious Virtues gave me magic and sent me back to the Kingdom of Alhambra, and I have no idea how to use this magic.

When I returned to life a few days later, a devil of a man named Jadro started looking for me. He wants me dead. Why? I honestly do not know. The wretched man found me and killed some of my workers, setting my home on fire -- a horrible sight to see the blood of my dear employees flowing on the marble floors of my home.
Now, I am running for my life with three of my closest friends, and I found this so-called First Vanquisher, Lord Ashton Dreyden. He must train me to be a Vanquisher, but I hate him. The man is a hypocrite. I want to roast him alive with my fire magic.
My friends keep dying, and I want to run away with the ones I have left. Oh, but where can I live with an undesirable trade?
Death owns me, the devil is chasing me, and I have magic I don't know how to use in a world engulfed by evil. I must learn to use my magic and unite with the other two Vanquishers to stop this war of genocide from taking over Alhambra. Can life get any worse? "Oh, look, a dragon; I spoke too soon."

Author's Note: This is a grimdark but sexy fantasy that some have called a gaslamp fantasy also. It is not for Children or young adults since it has many triggering topics. It is the first in a series, and it ends on a cliffhanger. This has a romance subplot, but is not erotica. For a list of CW, please visit the author's website. omayra-velez.com
