History knows me by many names. Nyx, the Goddess of Night. Lilith, the Lady of Darkness. Selaphiel, the fifth angel of God. But the course of my life has been determined by my greatest mistake. I opened the gate and allowed Lucifer to fall. Booted from Heaven for my sin, I serve my penance as a reaper. By collecting history's most twisted souls, I work to one day earn my ticket home.
Case #665
Grigoire Rasputin stood accused of attempting to seize control of the Russian empire by seducing its tsarina. He was poisoned, stabbed, shot, and drowned. For the conniving schemer, that was just the beginning. A darkness snaked into the alleged holy man's soul, weaving his destiny with mine.
Rasputin brought death to the Romanov's door. Now I'm heading back to even the score. Lies and secrets await in the frigid St. Petersburg snow. Yet it's the truth lurking there that will shatter my world in one savage blow.
